Description
A helium-inflated pig was specially made for the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals album. It was flown over the Battersea Power Station for the photograph, but accidentaly got free and flew many kilometers over London and landed in the countryside - which needless to say attracted a lot of attention and press coverage. A similar pig was made for the Pink Floyd's live performance - this one flew over the audience and then exploded, releasing the aroma of freshly fried bacon.
