Wide-Body - thanks for reminding us of the METARs, and also for your suggestion that 1013 was unlikely.

Probably not worth mentioning, but since the elevation of Shoreham (EGKA) is 7 feet (2 metres), QFE and QNH will almost always be the same. So the 'Q' in the METAR could probably be taken to mean QFE as well as QNH. And the unlikely happened in this respect too, on a day when many other unlikely events coincided.
