Ex Crew, yes you are correct. For a very brief period we had both Wardair Canada using their 747 and Worldways Canada using L-1011's on the Toronto route. Worldways also operated a DC8 63 on at least one occasion. I posted a photo of the L-1011 within the Nostalgimsaphoto thread.
Other operators of the L-1011 on the Toronto route was Air Transat - there is also a photo of that in there too. After the demise of Wardair, we had a succession of other airlines on the route, all using 757s. Odyssey International, Air Transat and Nationair were the three that spring to mind. Again, photos are in the nostalgia thread. These also include many of the BA Manchester fleet (1-11's, ATP's and 737 200's) virtually all of which diverted into LBA one evening as mentioned previously, due to fog at Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham.
