Clare the first one is too early but the last one is a distinct possibility. We await the next tracking data.
If Blue YD kept on at 27Kmph, after 1pm GMT, 171 Km from last fix near Dunkirk to Dunwich, on the same bearing would take 6.5 hours, equals 7.30pm GMT to reach land fall. So 8.30pm BST arrival. Sighting was at 6.30pm, I assume BST. So did he travel faster than 27Kmph, or are SWT reporting in BST?
It is quite a concidence, if one makes these assumptions, but as Alan says, the next update on GE will reveal all.
