That's the reason why I posted the time in different timezones:
18:00 GMT would be
11:00 (11 a.m.) PDT
13:00 (01 p.m.) CDT
14:00 (02 p.m.) EDT
19:00 (07 p.m.) West Europe (London, ...)
20:00 (08 p.m.) Central Europe
I checked the launch times of the SSM2007 missions yet published to compare with the STS-127 launch time (shortly after sunrise). Two missions come close:
STS-1 (15 minutes too late compared to sunrise and STS-127)
STS-96 (30 minutes too early)
STS-1 would have the most equal lighting conditions and the correct launch pad (39A) but the white tank, the wrong inclination, no roll up maneuver, no OMS assisted burn.
STS-96 is too late (lauches exactly on sunrise) and the wrong launch pad (39B) but the rest would come close and the inclination is exact, because it is an ISS launch.
So I would opt for using
STS-96.
If we meet at the time printed above (one hour before launch) we should have prepared SSM2007 to be in pause at T-30min, that is just before or at comm 14 (after completing the cabin vent checks and before entering the firs OPS 101 into the computers).
We would have then 20 min for chatting before unpausing. That should be enough time for everyone to prepare.
