I suspect that the answer to the last questions are to be answered by the fact that the sister ship to the accident aircraft is currently operating in Australia and both pilots may be the normal crew on the Australian aircraft???
If the accident report says that they hadn't flown a Convair for 17 months ,then it seems wrong. Maybe not an SA registered Convair?
In the world of rare historic aircraft operations, its normal for crews to keep recent on foreign aircraft. I know that both the Swiss Connie and Lufthansa 1649 crews kept recent on the HARS Connie.
