As an avid enthusiast of the "Flying Doctors" TV series in the 1980's can anyone give any background info. Like
1) Where it was filmed?
2) Was that Nomad MSF chartered and used specifically for all shots or did they use several Nomads?
3)Did they just have a series of external Nomad shots and use them when appropriate or did they film specifically for each episode?
4) Were the inside shots a simulator or was it filmed with a qualified pilot out of camera shot in the right hand seat and Sam Patterson appearing to be masterfully flying it?
5) At the end of the original first episode there was an F27 taking off supposedly with Tom's girlfriend returning to the USA but in fact she had not got on. Did Ansett still use F27's then?
(PS I wish our aircraft mechanics in the UK were as gorgeous as Rebecca Gibney
