  "text": "The legislation relating to Civil Aviation (other than the Carriage by Air Act 1932 and legislation concerned with the constitutions and functions of the state controlled Airways Corporations) was consolidated in the Civil Aviation Act 1949, which was applied, with the necessary modifications and adaptations, to overseas dependent territories by the Colonial Civil Aviation (Application of Act) Order 1952. That Order has been amended several times to take account of the many changes of status and constitution which have occurred in relation to dependent territories and former dependent territories. It has also been amended by the Tokyo Convention Act 1967 (Overseas Territories) Order 1968 (S.I. 1968/1844).\nThe present Order consolidates the previous Orders and also takes account of the repeals contained in the Civil Aviation Act 1968 (c. 61) and the attainment of independence by certain territories; it excludes from its purview Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Christopher, Nevis and Anguilla, and St. Lucia, which have become Associated States under the provisions of the West Indies Act 1967 (c. 4).",
