(5) Any proceedings in respect of contravention of or failure to comply with any Customs Regulations made under Article 23 (4) of this Order shall be deemed to be proceeding for the recovery of a penalty under the enactments of the Colony relating to the Customs.
29.--(1) Any certificate granted in the Colony under Schedule I, or any licence granted in the Colony under Schedule V to this Order, or the licence of any aerodrome in the Colony, may be cancelled, suspended or endorsed by the Governor on sufficient ground being shown to his satis- faction, after due inquiry, and his decision shall be final; and in special cases the Governor may suspend any such licence temporarily and pro- visionally pending the holding of an inquiry.
(2) Any certificate of airworthiness issued in the Colony under Schedule II to this Order, or any validation conferred in the Colony under that Schedule on a certificate of airworthiness. may be cancelled or suspended by the Governor if he is satisfied that reasonable doubt exists as to the safety of the aircraft in question, and the conditions attached to any such certificate or validation may be varied by the Governor if he is satisfied that those conditions may properly be relaxed, or that reasonable doubt exists as to whether those conditions afford a sufficient margin of safety.
(3) Where any person is convicted of any contravention of or failure to comply with this Order in respect of any British aircraft registered in the Colony, the Governor may cancel or suspend the certificate of registra- tion of that aircraft.
(4) When there is within the Colony--

the Governor may, on sufficient ground being shown to his satisfaction, after due inquiry, suspend any such certificate or licence, subject to an appeal to the authority by whom it was issued, the suspension, however, to remain in force pending the decision of such appeal.
(5) The Governor may require the holder of any licence or certificate granted or validated in the Colony under this Order or liable to be suspended under paragraph (4) of this article (or any person having the possession or custody of any such licence or certificate) to surrender the same to him for cancellation, suspension, endorsement or variation, in accordance with the provisions of this Order; and any person failing to comply with any such requirement within a reasonable time shall be deemed to have failed to comply with this Order.
