Our 'Featured Video' showing footage at Malton is posted on YouTube by the 'Reel Life' channel

Comments by Ken Pickford:

From 0:58 to 3:17 in the video - must be very rare footage taken at the original late 1930's Toronto (Malton) terminal, with a later expansion in 1949. The video title refers to 1962 but the opening credits read 1959 which is probably correct due to the 2 TCA North Stars that appear in the footage. The North Stars had been retired by 1960/61.

In addition to the 2 North Stars, that footage includes 6 Viscounts - 2 taxiing out and one taking off near the beginning, and 3 parked. By the end of 1959, TCA had 49 Viscounts in service. 

Terry Baker elaborates on the North Star retirements:

The final North Star –

  • Fin #219 CF-TFS c/n 143 sold to International Air Freighters December 26, 1961.
