Tesco's luxury private jet, now on sale for £23 million

This £23million private jet flew Tesco executives around the world in luxury for years but is now up for sale after the supermarket giant's profits, sales and share price all dive-bombed.
The Gulfstream G550 is one of four private planes now on the market as the grocer is facing the biggest crisis in its 95-year history.
The decision to put them up for sale marks the end of excesses enjoyed by Tesco's bosses while sales and profits have tumbled in recent years. 
New chief executive Dave Lewis has called for austerity, which means selling off the jets that used to fly up to 14 executives at a time across the globe.
