Research notes


6 Sep 2026: GraveRef was corrupted with the Mapai Puma 164 crash-site text ("Body not recovered - crash site coordinates are: S22 06' 48.2\" E31 39' 12.1\"") -- discovered while fixing that text's encoding on the genuine 17 Puma 164 casualties. This record's own DateDeath has nothing to do with that 6 Sep 1979 incident; the crash-site text does not belong here. Cleared rather than guessed -- the real GraveRef value is unknown. This record's own Cemetery/CemeteryLat/CemeteryLong were not affected and are unchanged.
