Research notes

Cleared stolen ServiceNo 80521537BG (belongs to Fourie C.A. PN 30354, 5 Maintenance Unit, 1987-01-29).
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 9 Sep 2026: Pupil Pilot Corrie Cornelius Fourie, Air Force Station Waterkloof, No.1 Flight Harvard Serial No. 7369 failed to recover from a spin and crashed on Paardefontein Farm near Hammanskraal, age 21. CauseDeath enriched with the farm name and "failed to recover from a spin" (previously "struck ground during spin and crashed near Hammanskraal"). Unit2 leftover "Army" corrected to Air Force (Harvard crash from Waterkloof). CONFLICTS flagged, not changed: Rank "Pupil Pilot" vs this record's own "Air Mechanic"; FirstName "Corrie Cornelius" vs stored "Cornelius Christoffel" (both fit initials C C; Corrie is a common nickname for Cornelius). Unit "AFS Waterkloof" vs stored "1 Flt" — 1 Flt matches Graham's "No.1 Flight"; Waterkloof is the station, left. Not carried on Bushwar Books same-day post. AddInfo already cites 85 years of SAAF.
