AJK is indeed a cargo airline that occasionally flies a DC10 out of LGW to mid-Africa. Don't know which airline it is, but will endevour to find out soon. Once or twice recently they have checked in using callsign 'JAMBO' , but I remember this used to be for a 747-SP that did Africa to LHR regularly.

Spitoon, Your right on the callsign, it can get confused over our 'excellent'[sic] RTF system, and now you say Bambi, it sounds spot on.
A/C are all DC10's operating into and out of Nigeria, and if you are awake around 4am tonight (morning of 9th) you will see the next one go out from LGW, if not, sure he'll wake you anyway
