Best husbando Angus McFife XIII flies into space in seconds, without using the Legendary Enchanted Jetpack. The planet doesn't really look like Earth, although Angus, Hootsman and Ralathor are walking around fine on it (plus this is an alternate dimension where Zagothrax took over Dundee, possibly the world). So, we'll use a low end of Mars and a high end of Earth. Mars has a diameter of 6794km, while the Earth has a diameter of 12,742km.

object degree size = 2*atan(Object_Size/(Panel_Height/tan(70/2)))
= 2*atan(520/(560/tan(70/2)))
= 0.828964841 rad
= 47.496186754151168 degrees

Enter that into the angscaler and we have a distance of 7721km for our low end and 14481km for our high end.

Timeframe is 1.07 seconds.
object degree size = 2*atan(Object_Size/(Panel_Height/tan(70/2)))
= 2*atan(163/(560/tan(70/2)))
= 0.274098773 rad
= 15.7047028626533614 degrees

Now the distance to the planet is 24631km for our low end and 46195km for our high end. With that, we can finally get the distance travelled, and from there, our speed!

(Low end)
L = 24631km - 7721km
= 16910km

T = 16910km/1.07s
= 15803738.3/340.29
= Mach 46441.971

(High end)
L = 46195km - 14481km
= 31714km

T = 31714km/1.07s
= 29639252.3/340.29
= Mach 87099.9803

Now that's done, given it's sub light, we can also get kinetic energy. I couldn't find Thomas Winkler's official weight, but the average weight of a Swiss man is 85.5kg. Enter that into the relativistic kinetic energy calculator, and we get a result of 10699465671 megajoules for our low end and 37832819339 megajoules for our high end, or 2.5572336689771 megatons and 9.0422608362811 megatons for our high end.

Final Results
Angus McFife XIII flies into space (speed - low end) = Mach 46441.971
Angus McFife XIII flies into space (speed - high end) = Mach 87099.980
Angus McFife XIII flies into space (energy - low end) = 2.557 megatons
Angus McFife XIII flies into space (energy - high end) = 9.042 megatons
