Research notes
5 Sep 2026: Unit "40 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: dates of death differ -- 1 day(s) apart: Mike 1963-06-10 this record 1963-06-09. A gap of a few days commonly separates wounding from death, or a burial date from a death date. Flagged, not changed.
