Launch Location

Hi Colin,

It was launched from Kimba. About 120km WNW of your location at Adams reservoir.

It's listed in the video

approx coords S15°36' E 143°28'

It's pretty much exactly halfway along the eclipse track on Cape York. The location was carefully chosen using wind models to predict the landing area so that it would land in country that was accessible for the recovery not because it was halfway- that was just a coincidence.

Cheers

Joe
