They are known as the 'terrible teens' because that's where their Constructor Numbers sit, and they have a number of problems that take a month to fix for each aircraft (overweight being one of the problems that is probably not fixed). I think one of the other issues was the centre to rear fuselage join (a slight misalignment). They probably picked them up at a great price, as they have just been parked for a few years now, with 5 ton concrete blocks hanging from the engine mounts.
