Talk:Air Force Base Swartkop

English meaning of the place name
The translation "black head" is not appropriate. Although Dutch/Afrikaans "kop" does also mean "head" in English, in a topographical context it rather refers to a hill. Hence, "Swartkop" means "black hill". 92.105.32.44 (talk) 20:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Name is incorrect
The correct name is Swartkops - ending with an "s". Roger (talk) 11:59, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
