According to a quick Google, flight time from London to Moscow is about 3h45m. I think they were supposed to have landed in Krimsk which is a bit nearer to the UK, so a 3 hour flight is probably about right.

But they also had their watches removed, and were rather excited about the prospect of going into space, so they're not likely to actually know how much time had elapsed.

And for those questioning the massive forces generated during take-off, the ex-RAF bloke said that their 'shuttle' would take off and land like a traditional aircraft which is rather handy, as I think even the Ch4 boffins would have struggled to fake a rocket launch.

I'm quite looking forward to seeing how far they can push it before some of the contestants start to think that something's not quite right.
