Summary:
The aircraft was being radar vectored for an ILS approach to Runway 15 at Birmingham Airport. The radar controller had cleared the crew to descend to an altitude of 2,500 ft on the QNH 982 hPa but noticed the aircraft continuing to descend below the cleared altitude. He instructed the crew to climb and repeated the QNH of 982 hPa. The crew then set the correct QNH and the aircraft was climbed to 2,000 ft as instructed by the controller. Having intercepted the localiser they were cleared to descend with the ILS and a normal landing was made.
