Night Flight Query

Can anybody help with the following question please?

On July 26th I will be flying from Newark to the UK. My flight departs at 7pm EST from Newark and Arrives in the UK at approx. 7am BST.

My question is this - What portion of my flight will be in darkness? By darkness I mean absolute darkness, irrespective of Moonlight. I want to know how long it will be between seeing the sunset at the start of my flight, to seeing the first light of morning as I approach the U.K. I would also be very interested to know how this can be worked out!

Many thanks
