The sign shown here, or one like it, is displayed at the main gate of every RAF Station at home and abroad. Why did you think it didn’t apply to you? You must know that in many countries - maybe even your own - you would be arrested, tried, sentenced and banged up for doing what you did.

I didn't photograph it dear boy and never said I did - and FYI the notices weren't/aren't displayed at Punta Arenas when you get on the plane - you just get told when you disembark at MPN - "don't take any pictures on the apron" - there are the usual notices inside the Terminal about no pictures in Immigration, Customs and Security.

The Tanker was there, in exactly the same place on every visit, and it was on Google Earth as well - that's all I'm saying....................

'Would' implies certainty, the wording is 'may' which is much more vague and implies the use of common sense when deciding whether or not to arrest and / or prosecute. Similar wording appears at the RAF Museum. Go figure.
There does seem to be an element of authoritarianism creeping into some of the comments here.

I think the sign underneath is the more relevant one being referred to.

I didn't read the small print 😁!
I must remember never to take photos at open days 😉

Looks like someone remembered about photographs some time after they put up all the other signs -
