Abramovich buys second jumbo

ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has bought himself a second jumbo jet to add to his Boeing 737, three yachts and two helicopters. The Boeing 767 is more than twice the size of his current one. At £560m it is also double what he paid for the club.

The aircraft normally seats 360 people but is undergoing a complete interior conversion.

After being bought by the 37-year-old Russian oil tycoon it was repainted in white and grey at Filton airfield, Bristol, England, before being flown to Basel in Switzerland to be fitted out.
