Did anyone else spot the "creative accounting"...?

Under the new contract, 22 state of the art helicopters will operate from 10 locations around the UK.

Ten Sikorsky S92s will be based, 2 per site, at Stornoway and Sumburgh, and at new bases at Newquay, Caernarfon and Humberside airports

Ten AgustaWestland AW189s will operate, 2 per site, from Lee on Solent and a new hangar at Prestwick airport, and new bases which will be established at St Athan, Inverness and Manston airports

If there are maintenance cover aircraft involved, they have not been specifically detailed, or does 22 really mean 20 ?
