I had wondered about GPS lock before it lifted off - LONGAN was dithering its position much more than I would have expected.

Yeah - you get that - slightly different ascent rates calculated from different data points.

Looks like it might swing overhead (I'm in Felixstowe) and clear skys - got my camera batteries on charge.

What balloon is it? - if its large and Hwoyee with a light
payload then its likely to float - maybe overnight until sunrise.
Helium/Hydrogen?

Where are you tracking it? I can’t seem to find either payload on sondehub.

Looks like a float to me - the question is for how long.

Its reached a balanced state - the elastic of the envelope in
balance with the differential pressure. Floats are quite common
with low ascent rate latex balloons - particularly Hwoyee. This
is a smaller balloon with a heavier payload than we normally get
to float - but never the less it seems to have entered one. Worst
case they can go overnight - bursting at dawns light.

Looks like it might land (float!) just off Great Yarmouth.
One time we got their seal watch guys to go and recover a
payload, another the team somehow got the Gorleston-On-Sea RNLI
out for a training exercise.

I'm not sure how accurate the landing spot prediction is - the software will probably assume an exponential speed decrease with altitude (typical for burst/parachute) - whereas the actual descent rate is not far from linear (typical for a leak).
I think you may see the landing spot get closer to the current position as the flight progresses.

Thanks for the photos - Churchill launches are a trip down memory lane for me.
Measuring lift in the middle of a windy field can be difficult. Air moving over the top of the balloon (relative to that close to the ground) seems to create a bit of extra lift.
Once upon a time CUSF had a snazzy gas flow meter? (for measuring
the amount of gas dispensed).

2 quick photos I snapped from the launch on Churchill College Lawn.
