I'll give you partial credit for some good guesses here: there was in fact a different airline that operated a different aircraft BHX-LGW, and BCal indeed ran a DC-10 on LGW-ATL; their Monday flight would have easily connected to an EA 727 to BHM, although with luck the 1+50 connection to the earlier jet was probably makeable
