They speak of pression regions. This refers to Altimeter Setting Regions (ASRs). The QFE (Field Elevation) is for the field reading only. So indeed VBF-12_Gosling's, Enroute Supplement - Channel, is handy for the fields on approach and operating (thank you for those!). Most of the time (nowadays) the standard pressure setting 1,013.25 [hPa] is used for transits on flightlevel.

You could also have a read on the NATS website... checkout http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public...Itemid=11.html and scroll down the page until you find "Altimeter Setting Procedures". This explains how it should be done today.

Also look at the links on the left hand side. You can select "Aerodrome Index - Specific" and for those airfields still active, i.e. Biggen Hill, pull up the aerodrome chart. Biggen for example, has an elevation of 599ft amsl.
