Research notes


Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 22 Sep 2026: 85331866PS Lieutenant Deon Joubert, one of "two members from 85 Combat Flying School... killed when their Atlas MB326M Impala Mk I, Serial No. 582 crashed near Sabie during a routine training flight", age 20. The aircraft type, serial number and place are more than this record held.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Air Force".
