The assertion that
QFE is an anachronism
is a fair personal point of view. It remains, though, a point of view. Personally, I rather like QFE for my simple puddle jumping activities.
In the olden days, the early '70s, it was normal at Ringway aerodrome to pass the QFE and QNH. Perhaps rather quaintly, Speedbird and Beeline drivers used to set it for landing. Being vastly superior and advanced, Clipper ones didn't.
