Pressure Setting Question 2

This is a hard one, give it a go...

An aircraft takes off from airfield A, ELEVATION 270ft, with the QFE of 994mb correctly set on the altimeter.

WITHOUT resetting the altimeter the pilot lands at airfield B, 405ft HIGHER than A, with a QNH of 1000mb.

The lapse rate is 27ft/mb.

On landing at B what will the altimeter read?
