Two RAF pilots have been sent home in disgrace amid claims they were found drunk just hours before they were due to fly on bombing mission in Libya, the Daily Mail reports.

It is believed the pair, who fly £75million Typhoon Eurofighters, were found almost paralytic at 6 am on the main square in the town of Gioia del Colle, near their base.

One was 'spread-eagled' on the floor while the other was barely able to stand, according to The Sun.

They have been reprimanded for flouting the RAF's strict rules which state that pilots can drink no more than two pints of beer within 12 hours of flying.

The Ministry of Defense said their removal would have no effect on the RAF's mission.

飞行员空袭前烂醉遭遣返

        近日，两名英国皇家空军飞行员因在利比亚执行轰炸任务前几小时喝得烂醉，很不光彩地被遣返回国。

       英国《每日邮报》报道称，这两位驾驶价值7500万英镑欧洲“台风”战机的飞行员在早上6点，被发现烂醉如泥地躺在焦亚-德尔科莱空军基地附近的广场上。

       《太阳报》称，他们其中一人四仰八叉躺在地上，另一个几乎都站不起来。

       英国皇家空军严格规定，飞行员在起飞前12小时内饮酒不得超过两品脱。这两位飞行员因违反该规定而遭到训斥。

       英国国防部表示，飞行员遣返不会对军事行动造成影响。
