Research notes
SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026 (year-prefix method): ServiceNo 90308842PE cleared -- per the documented SA force-number convention (data/SA_SERVICE_NUMBER_NOTES.md), the prefix '90' implies registration circa 1990 (usually age 16), i.e. birth circa 1974. This record's own Age/DateDeath implies birth circa 1930, a mismatch; PersonNumber 33691 (Venter, implied birth circa 1973) fits instead. Original value: "90308842PE".
5 Sep 2026: Unit "17 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
