Specific dates for positions (Wikidata project)

I'm attempting to add information about the people in this article to Wikidata but I can't seem to find where the exact dates have come from. The only reference is this list but it doesn't have any info on the day a position was taken, the author of the site states that "I have restricted myself to the use of months and years and have not included the days on which posts were taken up or demitted." (because it was hard to be sure of exactly when...).

So I'm wondering if anyone has any additional info? Looking through the history, it seems like the bulk of the entries came from @Astarkie: - you wouldn't still be around would you or am I 10 years too late? 😬

This is all part of a project of mine to get information about the ATC and other cadet forces into Wikidata and then into OpenStreetMap. As part of that, I was planning on contacting the Council of RFCAs to see if I could get an up-to-date List of Air Training Corps squadrons and their locations under an open licence so that they could be imported into Wikidata. I might have to see if they have any info on this as well.

Here's a link to the people in Wikidata who currently have a position held (P39) in the Air Training Corps (Q4698217), any help in improving the list would be much apprecieated! --Aluxosm (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
