Airplanes and engines at Cathay

This may be a common thread; however, i have read so many different answers I feel obligated to maybe resolve it once and for all. Cathay utilizes RR engines on all but the a340-300. Here is the list that I currently have, and would appreciate any corrections granted they are 100% accurate.

747-400 Rb211-524 H/T 60,600 .570sfc sweep 37.5
A340-600 Trent 556 56,000 .565sfc 31.1
A340-300 CFM56-5C4 34,000 .321sfc ?
A330-300 Trent 772 71,100 .565sfc 30
777-200 Trent 877 76,900 .557sfc ?
777-300 Trent 892 92,000 ? ?

I have read that the 777-300 have derated engines but I am not sure. Please help me finish this table and correct any errors. Thanks in advance. I have my second interview coming up in less than 2 weeks.

What are all of the abbreviations???

PW4000 on the B747-400, """HKD, E & F""""

RB211-524D4 on the B747-200F """HVX, Y & Z plus HIH""""

GE CF6-50 on the B747-200F """"HMD,E & F""""

This is the first time that I have seen any of this information, except the RB211-524D4 for the 200. Do they use these planes for the pax fleets. Obviously not the 747-200. Are you a Cathay Pilot? Do you know about the missing information in the previous post? It was my understanding that all of their equipment was RR not including the 340-300 and the a300-600f's flown by AHK. Can anyone else attest to this bit of info?

Cheers

CX have bought in aircraft from other companies from time to time. The B747-400, powered by the PW4056 engine are possibly ex SIA aircraft. They will now be re-registered onto the Hong Kong/China register, hence, "HKD,E & F" etc. Not certain but I think that the registration is prefixed with a 'B- then the HK bit.

As said above they're the Regos.

A pic tells a thousand words.

The GE powered 200F are ex Air Hong Kong but they were owned by CX and leased to AHK.
