Research notes
Mike Sandham reference, 25 Aug 2026, sourced to pantser.cmvo.org.za's "Lys van Weermaglede wat aan diens gesterf het" (SADF deaths 1962-2001, excl. 1993). Source columns as transcribed -- Rang: "CPL", Eenheid (unit, truncated in source): "AIR FORC", Plek/Oorsaak/Detail/next-of-kin (run together by the source's column layout): "DASSEN ISLAND FREAK ACCIDENT DROWNED AFTER HELICOPTER FELL INTO D. KRIEL BROTHER". Additional wrapped text: "SEA". Unit left blank rather than inserting the truncated PDF unit text as a guess -- "AIR FORC" wasn't confidently mappable to an existing Unit record.
