From FL240 to the whitecaps was then approx three and half minutes during which time they traversed approx 1 nautical mile.
Though of course while the point of impact with the sea is known to be around a mile from the last plot, the absence of any intermediate points tells us nothing about the groundspeed or the flightpath between the two known positions (other than the average ROD).
