ref. "Pride of Eagles" - History of the Rhodesian Air Force 1920 - 1980 by B. Salt. and ref. "Rhodesian Roll of Honour" by P. Geldenhuys (Roll compiled by Dr. J. R. T. Wood). Amendments from "Rhodesian Combined Forces Roll of Honour 1966-1981", by Adrian Haggett and Gerry van Tonder.
5 Sep 2026: Regiment/Unit swapped -- "General Service Unit" (the specific squadron) moved to Regiment; "Rhodesian Air Force" (the force-wide designation) moved to Unit, per John's decision.
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Ndayila David Dhlodhlo' and Age 29 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 39695 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Mangwiro'), Initials ('R'), ServiceNo ('50348') and DateDeath ('1979-11-01') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('Rhodesian Air Force') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
