Chopper Squad

Does anyone out there remember this programme or did I dream it?!! I think it was Australian but I can't find out anything about it!

I don't recall it myself, but I just did a quick Google and loads of info came up. It appears to be from 1978, and is indeed of Australian origin.
Have a search and see!

Yeah I did it is in TV Tomes but not much info just wanted to know if anyone else had any recollections of it!

Oh wise one!

Chopper Squad

I remember this show distinctly! There were three main characters, I think - Jebbie, Barry and another whose name I don't recall. They worked for Sydney Surf Rescue (or something like that), and basically rescued people who got swept out to sea, fell off cliffs, etc. Very simple premise, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In my area, it was broadcast around 1 or 2 pm on Sunday afternoons.

Chopper Squad - it was great!

I remember Chopper Squad, though many people I ask do not. My brother and sister were huge fans, too. The three main characters were Jebbie and Phil and they were members of Surf Rescue. There was another main character - the pilot, I forget his name though. It was very good!

Re: Chopper Squad

Grew up watching shows like Chopper Squad. Great Sydney locations, three hunky actors, Dennis Grovenor, Eric Oldfield and Robert Coleby that had the girls swooning. Thin storelines but a lot of fun watching. Another Aussie show in a similar vein tho some years later was Police Rescue. A bit more earthy with an exceptional cast and real life storylines.
