The Tyne certainly wasn't reliable compared to modern turboprops. In my time at AirBridge (avionics engineer), I think we normally managed at best 1100-1200 hours on the wing between shop visits - and that meant sending them to MTU in Germany as Rolls Royce had transferred design and support to them.
