Terry Tan is a voluntary mechanic for the Westpac Rescue helicopter. The helicopter is at K. C. Bunnyborough overnight for Terry to do a routine check.
Terry has rung Mrs Lemon to invite her and the boys over to have a look at the Westpac Rescue helicopter and his visiting friend’s helicopter. “ Come over early in the morning because both are leaving at first light.” Terry says, "Keep it secret because my friend is on a secret mission and it is not to be known where he is." Len, Larry and younger brother, Les can hardly sleep that night because they are so excited to be able to see a real helicopter on the ground.
Early the next morning Mrs Lemon calls the boys to get up and get ready to go and see the helicopters.
On the way they past the lake and the swans ask, “Have you any bread?” The rabbits stop and Larry replies, “No, not today because we are in a hurry to see a helicopter,” and they continue hopping.
Next they past a flock of seagulls, one of them squalls out “Have you got any bread?”. “No,” answers Les, “ We are in a hurry to see a helicopter.” and they all quickly resume hopping.
“There it is,” points Mrs Lemon. As they hop closer they can hear the engine going. “We are just in time.” She says. They watch it ascend in the sky and Len notices that it is brass and the markings on one the side read VERTOL V-107-11.
Terry hops over to greet them and invites them to have a look at the Westpac Rescue helicopter that he had been working on last night. They are allowed to go inside and have a look at the controls before Terry flies off to the Westpac depot so it is ready for another rescue.
