    adventures in an island?

    I watched this series in the Spanish TV in the late 1970's. I really enjoyed it. It involved a pilot and his teen son, whom lived among the native Polinesian people. The handsome blonde Mark Lee (best known for "Gallipoli") played the son and he was very good friends with a Polinesian teenager. It was the typical adventure movie for all family, and I most remember it for the sympathetic, straightforward character played by the youthful Mark Lee. I wish I could watch it again, to check if I would be able to enjoy it nowadays. Unfortunately, I don't remember much more, except that the father seemed to be always repairing the helicopter, and that at times the teen friends got involved in dangerous situations.

    Nostalgia! Nostalgia! Nostalgia!

    Watched this back in the 1970's in the UK, there were plenty of Australian TV programmes out at the time but this one stands out. Welsh-born Hu Pryce stars as 'Bailey' an ex-RAAF pilot living in Malaysia with his son Nick (Mark Lee) and they get up to all kinds of adventures with their 'bird' a big seaplane.

    It blended perfectly the expat experience, two Australians in South East Asia coming to terms more about culture shock and coming to grips about the life and the ways of where they are and I liked it at the time and a real pity I can't seem to find a DVD with all the episodes as I would happily buy it.

    40 years later, I made my way to South East Asia and the glorious Penang in Malaysia where the series was filmed and it was such a wonderful moment. 10 out of 10 stars and bring that DVD out (is it Channel 7 of Australia?)
