It is probably very very very very very early Christmas present for someone.

Word round the crew rooms is that they're being stored here till they either are sold or are returned to the leasors. Hence the wrapping like that to help protect them from the salt air

I expect the current exchange rates would have a lot to do with it. At the moment, the Oz$ is pretty strong...
