LBA certainly hosted the BA 1-11s before and after the runway extension, usually when the Manchester weather was unsuitable. One night in early 1987 more or less the whole Manchester-510 fleet nightstopped at LBA.
Wardair never had an overrun incident at LBA. BMA did twice with Viscounts in 1980 and British Airtours once with a TriStar in 1985. All these flights, including Wardair, were regular schedules.
