So according to the route maps, the purple, brown and black routes are flying over Brighton. Anyone any idea of how long Goodwood > Brighton will take them?

 

[Triggaaar]

As soon as someone has an up to date ETA for Brighton and Hove, please post it, I'm sure a lot of us would like to get outside in time for a peak.

Any guess when they will be over Worthing? 2.30-3?

The website states:

The first section is due to roll at 12:00 local time and it is estimated that there will be 4 minute gaps between each subsequent section getting airborne, meaning the last section will be airborne by 12:36 local.


The three routes that pass over Brighton are the 7th, 9th & 10th, so by that reckoning with the start time being put back to 14:00, they should be taking off from Goodwood at 14:24, 14:32 & 14:36

No idea how long it will take them to get from take off to Brighton though
