Research notes

SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 77217909BG cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "JOUBERT, PETRUS JOHANNES" (RFN, Sterf 10 06 80), matching PersonNumber 30939 (Joubert, DateDeath 1980-06-10) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "77217909BG". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong. | Unit was contaminated with an unrelated Army unit (Infantry Battalion/Artillery Regiment/Commando/Special Service Battalion) that makes no sense for Air Force personnel -- found 28 Aug 2026 while investigating a similar report (PersonNumber 30827, Janse Van Rensburg). Affects 32 "ref. 85 years of SAAF" records in total, all correctly Corps = South African Air Force but each with a different, unrelated ground-forces Unit value -- looks like a batch-import misalignment bug, not a single bad value repeated. Cleared rather than guessed at a correct Unit.
Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 48 against this record's 19. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
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".
