insofar as they apply (whether by express reference of otherwise) to aircraft registered in the United Kingdom, shall apply to such aircraft wherever they may be;
insofar as they apply as aforesaid to other aircraft shall apply to such aircraft when they are within the United Kingdom;
insofar as they prohibit, require or regulate (whether by express reference or otherwise) the doing of anything by the commander of any aircraft registered in the United Kingdom, shall apply to him wherever he may be; and
