CathayPacific
We know about as much as you have been told. It is due to be flown to Hong Kong sometime in March. Not sure what colour scheme it will be in at that stage but I would imagine that where it comes time to present her to the public she will be in a scheme that reflects the era they were in Cathay service. So it will probably be in a Betsy or similar paint scheme.
As for any pilots here being typed on a DC3, I would imagine there are a few. I personally know one F/O that flew them in North Queensland many years ago. As to any of them being current on type, well that is another question.
