Notes
Mike Sandham 14 Aug 2026 / Google AI Overview: Andrew Gouws, Major SAAF, DOB 17 Mar 1931, age 72. Cleared stolen ServiceNo 82341652BG, first name Philip Nat, age 18 and unit 61 Base Workshop (belong to Gould PN 30506).
Research notes
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Air Force" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Air Force".
