a FJ GD/P - they're often the worst offenders when it comes to correct RT procs, in my experience! The same people who moaned about the brief period when we briefly went back to QNH at military aerodromes.
Strange how things evolve over the years. In his excellent book 'Meteor Eject', Nick Carter writes much about his RAF training as a fighter pilot in the early 50s. On the subject of Instrument Rating Tests, he comments:-

"It is interesting to note that the RAF always did approach and landings with the airfield QNH set, whereas civil operators used QFE settings"

And today we have almost the complete reverse!
