I flew them from London to TLV about 20 years ago with my parents. As we were landing, a man (who looked like a passenger) stood up and was looking around the aircraft. My dad told me that he was the armed sky marshal, just making sure no-one tried to storm the cockpit. I also remember their security in London was extremely tight, this being the era of the Iranian Hostages, etc.
