Research notes
DATE DISCREPANCY 25 Aug 2026: pantser.cmvo.org.za's SADF deaths PDF gives this person's Sterf (date of death) as "27 07 81" (DD MM YY) against the same ServiceNo (74411307PE) and name -- differs from this record's DateDeath (1981-07-28). Not overwritten, flagged for reference.
5 Sep 2026: Unit "21 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
