I posted an innocuous looking question in reply to this thread on 28/10/02 re Air Pressure/Altimeters the post has seemingly disappeared, anyone any reasons for doing so?

May I respectfully try again?

Situation: Year 1960, 4 Engine Piston job, about to land, distance from runway 1.5 miles, height on finals 420', cloud base 450', fierce tropical storm blowing, aircraft LANDS in sea, could rapidly falling barometric pressure cause altimeters to give an incorrect height reading? <www above refers>
