HERE'S an exclusive look inside the private jet once owned by Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn.

The jet, a 2005 Dassault Falcon 200EX, is on the market in America for reportedly $17.5m (£11m).

Mr. Quinn used the plane for a number of years to fly to his various business interests around the world, but in light of his financial difficulties his company was forced to put it on the market.

According to an advertisement placed on the website of an Aircraft dealer in Florida the jet has 765 hours flying time, is capable of carrying 10 people and even has gold fixtures in the bathroom. It also has a microwave oven, automatic coffee maker, and two thermos carafes used to keep water hot for several hours.

Meanwhile, a helicopter formerly used by Mr. Quinn has been sold for more than €1m (£0.8m).

According to newspaper reports, the Quinn Group's eight-seater Agusta AW109E has been sold to British helicopter operator and trainer Castle Air.

The helicopter was bought as new by the Quinn Group and is understood to have had 2,145 hours of flying time when it was put on the market last year.
