Be interesting to see how he gets around ID card issues these days. Even with a Gatwick pilot card AND a Gatwick based airline card, one would run into bumptious security staff at other airports who would either try and confiscate the Gatwick card or try and deny access. The days of reasonable access to anywhere seem to be gone. The days of reasonable common sense in security have gone. I still marvel that Dubai Airport allowed a bunch of dancers and kids access to the terminals to do a flashmob dance (youtube Dubai Airports flashmob)! Look at them- not an ID card in sight, and airside! It would be banned here.
