The series, which aired from 1979 to 1981 , was set at the fictional Pacific International Airport and dealt with the lives of the pilots, airline staff and management team who worked there. ''Skyways'' was mainly taped in a television studio where, in many interior-set scenes, Colour Separation Overlay created the illusion of a bustling airport with taxiing planes outside the window. Many of the exterior scenes were shot on location at Melbourne Airport . The show's cast included Tony Bonner , Carmen Duncan , Bruce Barry , Judy Morris , Deborah Coulls , Bartholomew John , Tina Bursill , Brian James , Gerard Kennedy and Kerry Armstrong . Bill Stalker played head of airport security Peter Fanelli. After ''Skyways'' ended Fanelli was rolled into Crawford's series, '' Cop Shop '', while Brian James' character George Tibbet was transplanted to '' Holiday Island ''. .]] Years before '' Neighbours '' and stardom, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan appeared together in one episode as brother and sister. An early storyline featured a lesbian flight attendant (Morris) unsuccessfully attempting to seduce a colleague (Coulls) who revealed she was heterosexual. Morris' character was soon afterwards stabbed to death in the shower as part of a murder-mystery storyline. EXTERNAL LINKS |
