If this launch goes to plan the upper stage of the Falcon 9 & the Dragon capsule should be visible passing over the UK just after 22:25BST.

Just had a look at the latest weather map, storms moving inland and dissipating, fingers crossed as weather for the rest of the week looks bad.
Hope to watch the launch and then rush out to view Falcon going over the UK from in my hot tube!
