	Jan Smuts Summary
		Jan Smuts the second son of Jacobus Abraham Smuts, a prosperous farmer and a member of the Cape Legislative Assembly, was born on May 24, 1870, on a farm in the Malmesbury district of the Cape Colony (Cape Province).
		Smuts sought refuge in the capital of the South African Republic, Pretoria.
		Smuts' importance to the Imperial war effort was emphasised by a quite audacious plan, proposed as early as 1940, to appoint Smuts as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, should Churchill die or otherwise become incapacitated during the war.

		Jan Smuts airport became Johannesburg International Airport in the mid-1990s.
		Mr Morgan remained in Harare to continue his attempts to have the media ban overturned, but given the intransigence of the regime on the one hand and the players on the other, the reality is that his chances of resurrecting the tour are slim to non-existent.
		As the players arrived yesterday at Jan Smuts Airport from Namibia, where they had played two warm-up matches, questions about whether they would be flying to Harare were met with a weary shrug of the shoulders.

	Black Arts Diary » 2006 » July
		Some time ago, in the mid-1990s, Jan Smuts Airport in Johannesburg (South Africa) was renamed to the infinitely more poetic Johannesburg International Airport.
		In the spirit of the times, Jan Smuts (being white) was held up as a symbol of apartheid rule.
		In fact, Jan Smuts opposed the National Party all his life, had quite a few loopy ideas on the holistic nature of the planet and its inhabitants, and was involved in the founding of the League of Nations (forerunner of the United Nations).

	Chapter 16 - The Long Walk
		Since Jan Smuts is only a short distance beyond Kempton Park he had no objection and cheerfully carried on in the same direction.
		The task fell on his shoulders because he was less likely to bump into someone he knew and he looked and sounded more like a 'foreigner' than either of us.
		We then sent him back inside to find out if it would be possible to hire a car with a driver from one of the car-hire firms at the airport.

		The number four engine, with its companion engine on one side and frigid space on the other, would have been enveloped by a slightly colder temperature than the number three (inboard) engine, which was sandwiched between the plane's fuselage and the outboard engine.
		Thereafter, the rate is reduced as the pilot signals for assistance, seeks a place to land, makes his position known to potential rescuers, etc. The available data indicates that the captain of KAL 007 followed that procedure.
		After "taking off" and climbing to 35,000 feet, the instructor simulated a number four engine fire and failure, accompanied by a rapid cabin decompression of the sort which could be caused by, for example, shrapnel from an explosion penetrating the fuselage.

	Fodder - A blog from the heart of zaLand: Oliver Tambo International Airport
		Although in the minds of many, Johannesburg International Airport is still 'Jan Smuts', at least the former is an accurate and concise description, understood by all.
		Renaming an airport is a hugely costly exercise, not only to the airport itself but with wider reaching effects on local communities and authorities, aviation bodies, airlines, service companies and so on.
		Changing the airport's IATA code from the current JNB, recognisable by anyone, if this will be done at the same time, further impacts reservations and peripheral systems.
