If you have a BA boarding card on BA then the QF number prints out with status so the lounge don't argue much. If it is operated by franchise (Loganair, GB etc) then the franchise part of "operated by" overwrites and no membership number or status appears. Now they can see this on the BA machines at the desk if they choose to look but...
Rant rant, suggestion, useful comment, rant, I know but hey there has to be someone at 1W, it cannot be as virtual a con as it appears to be in reality.

BA will let you use the lounges when you're travelling in Club Europe EVEN if you have no status with anyone, so I find that a bit odd. Unless you had wanted to gain entry to the First Class area .. then you would need to SHOW your QF Gold card even though it was obvious that you had it on your boarding card.
