From my point of view I have never had a problem with a number of UK Warbird shops, including one I happened across one day, poked my head around the corner and asked if it would be possible to have a quick look about. The result was that the owner of the shop spent an hour of his time showing me around and telling me all about his projects.
I have found over the years just simply being courteous and accepting the wishes of those whose shops I am visiting has done me no harm and has meant that if I can get back there at a later date it has not been a great problem. I don't push my luck by asking to take photographs these days, if somebody says it's ok then I will but I won't ask, I respect what these guys do and the way they do it.
I can't say I have ever had any bad experiences as such in almost 20 years.
