Monarch - LGW-ATH - Oct 1996, Aircraft Details Sought

During October 1996 I went on a school trip to Athens, I know that we flew from Gatwick and it was with Monarch. Looking at Airliners.net the only results for Monarch planes at Gatwick seem to be the 757-2T7 but is has been suggested that Airbus aircraft also operated out of LGW then.

All the details that I have are:

Departure
Friday 11th October 1996 (unknown time, but we had to leave the school at 0830hrs sharp and it is at least 400 miles/6.5 hrs travelling time to LGW by road), on-board late-evening meal provided, flight MON1504 LGW-ATH

Arrival
(unknown date, 7 or 10 days later) 0715hrs, flight MON1505 ATH-LGW

Does anybody happen to know if other Monarch aircraft operated this route or can I safely bet I was on the 757 at that time? Also, is there a way to find find old registrations given a date and airport?

Any comments welcomed. Many thanks.
