Flying doctors set to return

Rebecca Gibney speaks

Even though the much- loved drama series ended in 1993, former Flying Doctors star Rebecca Gibney says she’s working on reviving the show, which starred the likes of Andrew McFarlane and Brett Climo.

The blonde beauty played mechanic Emma Plimpton, who famously married Peter O’Brien’s character, pilot Sam Patterson.
