70-80' movie, plane crash island jungle paradise camp

The movie i'm looking for,

* is a family film,

* probably from end 70's - begin 80's.

* definetly in color

* Spoken language = English (but not per sé Amercian)

- Due to a plane crash, a group of people ends up on a jungle-like island.

- On the island, there's an abandoned camp, where they make base.

- This camp is also used by bad guys (pirates? Drug smugglers?)

Characters: there's 1 that's supposed to be the alcoholic (might be 2nd Pilot)

Any help is appreciated !

@DogRiver  Thx for the tips. Sadly no hit.

I think it was like a "B-movie from New Zealand or Australia" and is totally forgotten by now.

You came up with some decent titles tho.  Thx !

@TOM77 Darn, sorry I couldn't help. I found this one that sounds somewhat similar but I don't think it is, just throwing it out there though in case, Race for the Yankee Zephyr (1981) I hope someone can help you find out the name.

I think you are talking about Swiss Family Robinson.  A very entertaining family movie.  Swiss Family Robinson (1960) Trailer - video Dailymotion

Sorry.  Not a plane crash. Must not be what you are looking for.  But a good movie though.

Hi, I'm from Namibia, so started looking up local films from that time. Came across The crazy jungle adventure made in South Africa 1982. It is the one I was looking for. Hope it's the one you've been searching. Here's the link to the IMDB page. It's under the German title though. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0084121/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_dt_aka#akas
