There used to be a rule years and years ago, but since I have been working for BA pax have been free to take pictures provided they respect the rules I wrote above. So it must have been a misunderstanding or those crew were not up to date.
Thank you though for complying and not making a fuss about it - I know they were wrong but it is always best not to make a public scene! If it happened again I'd suggest you talked to the senior crew privately
