Angel New Cathay -400s

Just a quick question, which might seem, well, "spotterish", but please, humour me! (how do you think I got a name like Akero SID!)

Your new -400s - some from SAA and others from SIA. As I understand it, there are six from SIA and two from SAA. I presume the latter two are RRs?

When are these likely to be delivered?

Is there any info on which aircraft are likely to be left as pax aircraft and which are to be converted to freighters? (I was going to ask if any registrations had been assigned, but I think that would be encroaching into spotterdom a little too much!)

Many thanks!

Cool

I believe the 1st one is in Xiamen now. 2nd due soon. 1st one will remain as a pax a/c, using the seats etc etc from the 1st conversion a/c, a CX RR a/c.
