I don't understand why you of all people should be raising the altimeter subscale settings and RADALT warning settings as more inexplicable anomalies now.
You were the first to try explain them.
From what you originally wrote, I asked around and did the homework and came up with what I believe was the only reasonable explanation for them all:
the navigator's baro alt subscale was set to the regional pressure setting;
the handling pilot's was as to give a QFE for landing at the altitude of that LZ (happened to be the same as Aldergrove);
one RADALT warning height was set way too high to go off - so was "out of the way";
the other (69ft? from memory) was set appropriately for an imminent landing in adverse conditions (something like your words?).
So it looked from the altimeter settings alone that they may well have been intending to approach closely or land at that LZ.
