Default Alitalia in Cambridge

I drove past Cambridge airport today and saw whilst driving two Alitalia 777's there, anyone know why they are at Cambridge.

After delivery, Alitalia's 777s are flown to Cambridge for installation of the overhead crew rest facility by Marshall Aerospace. From what I've read, their 777s will be coming in at five week intervals for post-production modifications related to the rest facilities for the crew on 777s.
