Hmm........I take my hat off to Triple S and Triple F. Whilst you liberally spray your champagne I shall be twiddling with my sub-scale knob in the hangar!!

Can someone explain the "high to low-down you go" theory to me, it sounds like I need to learn it.

On the subject of sub-scale settings is it a REQUIREMENT to apply 1013 above 3000ft in Class G or only advisory? I recently called up a well known military frequency on my return from Cornwall and told them I was at FL50 and they asked me to fly on the Portland pressure instead. Why would they rather I did that? Is it because lots of people were VFR at that level that day on the Portland?
