5. Owners of British aircraft are hereby further notified that under the Air Navigation (Provisional) Order, 1939, which also became effective on 2nd September, 1939, the registration of an aircraft registered in Great Britain and Northern Ireland will not lapse upon any change of ownership, destruction or withdrawal of the aircraft from use, or if the owner ceases to be a person, company or corporation entitled to be registered as the owner of an aircraft registered in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but such registration may be cancelled by the Secretary of State for Air, if he thinks fit, upon the receipt of a notification on C.A.
