Somebody with tongue stuck firmly in cheek has put the two Libyan Air Force fighters which arrived in Malta for sale on internet sites.

"2 French-made Dassault Mirage F1BD fighter jets for sale. Previously owned by Libyan airforce. Excellent condition," the advert says.

"Power-steering, central locking, electric windows, fluffy pink dice and custom Muammar Gaddafi bobblehead figurine included.

Pilots not included."

The contact person is said to be Tonio Borg.

Of course, it is only a Mirage.

The aircraft remain under armed guard at Luqa.
