If the aircraft departed over Co. Antrim at less than 500ft (AGL or AMSL) there is no way it could have maintained a constant track. Therefore, not only are the accuracy of timings given by ATC questionable, speculation using V=D/T calculations must be questionable. Then again, all the wind values that have been previously used must have been best guesses.
