The flight was an empty positioner. New build 757s were delivered non-stop from Seattle to the UK, so Calgary-Gatwick absolutely no problem.
The longest sector I have personally flown a 757 with a full load of passengers on is Bangkok-Bahrain - 7hr 30min airborne - and it was in fact on good old G-MONJ. (Except of course it was 'young' back in 26/02/1992!)
