Research notes
5 Sep 2026: Unit "35 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 21 against this record's 25. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
