Just back from travels. Thanks for replies. Apologies to those who seem to have got their feathers ruffled.

Mariner9 - the first reply to my post was in agreement with my temperature/pressure query, hence the comment.

I guess I assumed pressure was lower at higher temperatures because I had read that as temperature increases takeoff distances/engine performance and/or is equivalent to being at a HIGHER altitude (which I incorrectly connected to lower pressure).

All is clear now - thanks guys.
Took the test - got 59/60 (and no, was not the temp/altimeter Q I got wrong )
