5 Sep 2026: Unit "4 Squadron" (a squadron, SAAF's regiment-equivalent) promoted to Regiment, per John's decision. Corps (South African Air Force) unchanged.
8 Sep 2026: Graham du Toit's Last Post dates this death 08 Sep 1977; this record's own stored DateDeath is 1962-09-08 (name, ServiceNo P/48888, rank, unit, and cause all otherwise match exactly). Flagged, not changed -- unclear which source has the wrong year.
8 Sep 2026: Mike Sandham independently flagged PN 48954 as a possible duplicate of this record -- confirmed: same Name/Initials/ServiceNo (P/48888 vs P48888) and same DateDeath (1962-09-08), and 48954's own DateBirth (1942-04-24) matches this record's EstBirthYear (1942). This resolves yesterday's flagged date conflict with Graham's Last Post: 1962 is correct (independently sourced twice), Graham's "1977" was a transcription error. PN 48954 itself flagged as a duplicate for merge review, not merged.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word, and it CONTRADICTED this record's own Branch, "Air Force". Across the roll 787 records carried such a contradiction; judged against Corps and Regiment -- independent of both columns -- the evidence backed Branch 744 times and Unit2 not once. Branch is therefore kept and the contradicting word removed. Nothing is guessed: this man's branch of service is already recorded, and his sub-unit, if any, is simply not known.
