Unfortunately in this age of litigation and people ever with an eye on publicity, as well as the security aspects, the facility to visit the FD had to be withdrawn. We had a couple of Captains in deep trouble because of it, one was photographed by another passenger visiting the FD with an infant girl on his knee who was reaching towards the pretty buttons. I believe he sold the picture to the papers and for a long time it appeared his job was history when it was published with some nonsense about 'pilot letting infant control aeroplane!'. Then we have insane idiots like Mukonyi trying to kill everybody- unfortunately the security people have overreacted by banning everybody, but that is a sympton of this day and age and some of the nasty/insane people out there.
