A person is going to fly from New York to London. If he leaves at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time and the flight lasts 4 1/2 hours, at what time should he set his watch when he arrives in London?

BST is 5hr ahead of EST.
The flight lasts 4.5hr.
The time when he arrives in London will be 9:30 ahead of the starting time.
4:00pm + 9:30 = 01:30, military time.
