Does anyone remember The Sea Urchins?
I have only the vaguest memory of it. Searching the net tells me that Rebecca Gibney was in it, as was Robbie Rakete! It was about three Maori boys who had adventures in their P class yacht I believe.
Was it a series or a one off film for TV? Who else was in it? Who wrote it?
My main interest is, apparently an old aircraft was used and sunken into the sea for a scene. I was told in the early 1990's when I was in the RNZAF that one of the Hudson bombers then at the RNZAF Museum, Wigram, was the said plane that was used. It was only a fuselage by that time, and is now apparently at Ferrymead museum.
Does anyone recall the plane and how it was used?

Yes, one of Rebecca Gibney's first appearances. But not, I think, Robbie Rakete, as the series aired in (I recall) three series from 1979 - 81. I think it was filmed on the Coromandel...
