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.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
