No, the flight number (BE712) is the same for the outbound and return legs, a clear indication that it's not a scheduled service.

At that time, BEA's Heathrow/Bromma services had BE2xx flight numbers, in fact there's a reference on the last page to one of the cabin crew having to position back to Heathrow on the scheduled BE211.
