ref. 85 years of SAAF
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 78351425BG cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '78' implies registration circa 1978 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1962. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1937, a mismatch; PersonNumber 33077 (Stapelberg, implied birth circa 1962) fits instead. Original value: "78351425BG". | Colyn Brookes, Mibisa: Volume One – Western Cape (Lulu, 2013, ISBN 9781447682523): Cape Town, Plumstead Cemetery, Victoria.
5 Sep 2026: Unit "7 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
