Florida Today says: April 26: Boeing Delta 2 (7920) on flight 257 with Iridium Mission-9 (5 comsats) from Space Launch Complex-2 West at Vandenburg Air Force Base, Calif., during a five-second launch window opening at 7:14:21 p.m. EDT (2314:21-:26 GMT). There is a good transit visible from the UK about 3 1/2 hours later, and conditions look right for flares, though I haven't been able to check it out.
