Yes they did. Simple reason is that the spares for the other type are gone. Even the blades they use were on loan from the MATS conny to make the ferry to Holland. The other parts are still in reasonable supply and they even say it is a more dependable system..... I don't know about that I'm no mechanic but ok, so far the props are not giving any problems. Only issues they keep having are the engines. Rest of the systems are doing a good job!
