Thank you so much for mentioning this programme - I thought I had imagined it.
I was out with a group of friends a couple of years ago and we got to chatting about our favourite kids programmes. We are all in our late 50's/early 60's. We all remembered Twizzle, Sparky and Noggin the Nog, But I was the only one that remembered the Ping Wings - unfortunately I had remembered it as "The Penguins" and despite Googling the name and searching lists of old childrens progammes I could find no trace of it.
So I was delighted to come across your post today and discover I had got the name wrong. I have just spent a happy 5 mins on Youtube watching an old clip and remembering how much I loved it. I also remembered that the theme tune used to make me sad (I was only 6).
Noggin the Nog - happy days Tamarix! Watched Noggin and the Ice Dragon as a child. Just beautiful, and Oliver Postagte's voice ....Bought a Noggin book for my daughter when she was little and she loved it.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

As i said before Verdun, men stay little boys, no matter their age
Are you brave enough to chance it he he.
AndVerdun are you saying that you have a split personality, or that you and Brumbull are one of the same , curiouser and curiouser
Be very afraid Verdun,its Halloween soon,you should not have mentioned the "curve of that broomstick".

And the broomstick's soft, sagey green - don't care for blue. It's getting serviced right now, but when it's ready....
