I was far too grown up to watch it by the time they got the JR.

No, it wasn’t a JetRanger…just a Ranger (Bell 47J).

Whirlybirds was great. Bell 47G N975B and a new Ranger….

I have a few episodes on DVD and some of the stories are a lot more “grown up” than you’d expect for a “kids show”.
Lots of helicopters, few “stock shots” (unlike most series) and a great soundtrack of helicopter sounds any helicopter fan would love.

The last time I saw Whilrybirds broadcast on TV was in the late 80s…BBC had it as part of a Sunday morning children’s block of shows.

Here’s a copy of their uniform patch. The Helicopter Association International had a real one in its archives, I asked them to made a few (actually I threatened to steal the one they had unless they did)…here’s the result.

How about Gerry Anderson’s ‘Supercar’, then ‘Fireball XL5’?
Anybody else remember William Hartnell as Dr Who, with the Zarbies and Menoptera, or Mickey Dolenz as Circus Boy?

What about the one’s that started all the sf series twizzel & torchie the battery boy, How sad is that:D

Oh dear all these people showing their age. I’m glad I can’t remember “Whirlybirds” or “Moonstrike” then or “The Squadron” come to think of it.:D:D

Never saw The Aeronauts in New Zealand where I grew up.
I was a great fan of The Brady Bunch, though it has nothing to do with aviation.

Yep, I remember it. Was it B&W or is that my memory cells losing the solder?

On Sunday’s do you remember “The Beachcombers”? A Canadian TV programme with lots of Floaty planes in it. Set on a lake in deepest Canada.
Main character was Nic, IIRC.

No . :p:D:D

Oh my, I remember the Aeronauts on TV 😮

for some reason I remember that they were always two parters ? dubbed into English, shown once a week “after school” so I remember running home for this and having a sulk on if one of my older brothers got there first for Blue Peter or something……

No . :p:D:D

Anyone remember “The Silver Sword” a tv series from the late 50s, God i’m
getting old:eek:

:rolleyes::D:D

Never mind all that, what about “The Flashing Blade”? 😀

I remember watching that as a kid, along with Casey Jones, Robinson Crusoe, the Banana Bunch and Double Deckers. I also have a vague memory of a kids prog called “The Long Chase”. Jan Francis was in it and the OHB T33 in black with the knight motif featured in at least one of the episodes.

I remember the Aeronauts was a ‘must watch’, but it must have been the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was quite stylish…

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
