What were the Macrihanish, Prestwick and Glasgow QNH's. Again using an accurate airfield QNH for a nearby (30nm?), was acceptable practice.
Of course they may have set the LZ QNH. Anybody know what that was?
Do us a favour - if these are in the BoI or anywhere else, please just tell us to substantiate your latest hare - it will make life so much easier.

Not forgetting, of course, that one does not actually need a pressure altimeter reading to fly safely at low level.

My advice is to stick with the 'duty times and missed breakfast'? You'll probably do better with those.
- advice ignored?
