RAT Deployment

I've just seen this question posed on another aviation forum. Can anyone help?

"A BAe technical type just claimed that the Air Transat A330 which landed in the Azores is the only example of a Ram Air Turbine actually being deployed on a commercial airliner. I find that hard to believe. What about the Gimli Glider Air Canada B767 and other fuel starvation incidents, or the British Airways B747 with the quadruple engine flameout over Indonesia, due to volcanic ash?
Can anybody tell me of other Ram Air Turbine deployments that you know about. . . ?"
