Budgie is the lead character of the show who is cheeky and troublesome. He lives and works at Harefield Airfield, and seems to be best friends with Pippa, who apparently has feelings for him, but he works hard too, and continuously tries to please Lionel. He will also bravely come to the assistance of people in danger. He dislikes going through the heli-wash, and avoids doing so whenever he can. A white teddy bear named Snowy can almost always be seen carried in a pocket on Budgie's starboard side (however he seems to talk to him in most episodes, even though he can't talk) However, in Budgie Takes a Catch, two lollipops take his place. (Voiced By Richard Pearce) An image of the front cover of the original book shows a catapult there instead.
