Data correction 23 Aug 2026: Unit2 previously read "attd. 61 Mechanised Battalion Group", flagged by John Dovey as chronologically impossible since 61 Mechanised Battalion Group was not formed until 1978/1979, well after this person's death. Cross-checked against the 61 Mech Veterans Association official Roll of Honour (61mech.org.za/index.php/roll-of-honour) and found no matching entry on either roll tab. Value cleared as a data-entry error; primary Unit/UnitID left as recorded. Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 25 Aug 2026: confirms Cessna 185D #744 crash near Krugersdorp. Graham gives age 23; ROH record has 18 -- not overwritten, conflict noted.
5 Sep 2026: Unit "41 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 23 against this record's 18. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
