BTW EGKB's official elevation is 599 feet as defined in the UK AIP and official charts

EDIT: I just saw your last bongodriver but out of curiosity.....
Where do the following fit into this discussion concerning 'the correct' Altimeter setting:-
Apron 600 feet
Height in feet above AD ( 68 )
AMSL 666 feet
Threshold elevations 517 (21), 586 (03, 11) and 598 (29)
