It is yet another example of how Colonel Gaddafi concentrated Libya's oil wealth in his hands -- a private jet fit for a super-rich business tycoon.

Sky's Anna Botting was given a tour of the luxurious airliner, in which the dictator had his own plush double bedroom complete with sofa, television and DVD player.
There is even a Jacuzzi and showers -- and plenty of seats for Col Gaddafi's small army of female bodyguards and other staff.
The former leader was prevented from using the plane to escape after opposition fighters, with the help of Nato, won control of Tripoli's airport last month.
The jet suffered shrapnel damage during the battle for the key location.
