I guess your going to go on BAL530A before you return on BAL530B? Seem's sensible 
.

Sorry, know about departures from brum, and don't have a chart to hand, but something like this...
Birmingham, west of london, deauville, 50m west of paris, (just east of le mans), tours, chateroux, toulouse, over the east of the pyrenees, barcelona. Normally land 24L at PMI, so expect the arrival to bring you in from the north east of the island (Port of pollensa), and then a straight ish in final for the last 15 miles.
Home bound...
From 24R, straight ahead out to sea for 12 miles, right turn, up to the north west of the island very briefly. Reus (just west of barcelona), pyrenees, west of toulouse, east of bordeaux, nantes, cherbourg peninsula (east of channel isles), isle of wight.
These are fairly standard, but may change on the day. If you have a poor slot you may turn left after take off and route round the south of majorca towards menorca, marseille, lyon, dijon and east of paris home bound.
Listen carefully to the flight crew and theyll probably tell you.

'04' is the Boeing company code for Britannia Airways. Just like '36' is the Boeing company code for British Airways.
So BA's 757-200s are 757-236s, and their 767-300s are 767-336s, etc...
The company code stays with the aircraft throughout its life so if you end up on Britannia's G-CDUO or G-CDUP then they are 757-236s because they are ex-BA aircraft (i.e. first delivered to BA).
Incidentally, Airbus don't do it that way at all. They use the last two digits to correspond to engine type, so for example an A320-200 with V2500-A1 engines is an A320-231 regardless who it was delivered to, and with CFM56-5A1 engines it's an A320-211 etc...
