Page Merger
I propose merging the Aviation Security Act 1982 to this article, that page on it's own will not get to be much more than a stub page, as there is nothing more to add, however with that info on this page, it can add to a full article.. GremlinSA 13:06, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 3 weeks now and no objections so I will be performing the merge.. GremlinSA 09:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Total mess
This page appeared to have conflated too unrelated acts (the UK's Air Navigation Act 1920, which was extended by various orders to a number of colonies) with the Australian Air Navigation Act 1920 - which was passed independently by the Australian Government. There was never a single British Empire wide legislation. This appears to have stemmed from a fatal misunderstanding of the word 'Commonwealth' in a single source that was used (the Commonwealth of Australian is the formal term for the Australian federal government, the Commonwealth of Nations hadn't been created in 1921).

The British Act was repealed, the Australian Act remains in force in amended form as the basis for Australian air navigation law.

The article needs to be split into a British article and an Australian article. The "Aviation Security Act 1982" has been demerged as totally unrelated to either of the two topics of this article.

Many of the laws listed in the article are unrelated, even to civil aviation.

Finally, it is unclear where the title originally came from. Neither the UK nor Australia had an Act by that title.
