PINK FLOYD'S


"ALGIE"  ~ The Flying Pig !!! Plush soft toy collectable ~ Pink Floyd Pig
Approx size .. 22cm from Snout to Tail ~ 10cm high
Original based on Pink Floyd's famous " Algie"  the inflatable pig used on the "Animals"  album cover
 Roger Waters and artist Aubrey Powell, co-founder of the art group Hipgnosis, came up with the concept of an inflatable pig floating over Britain’s iconic Battersea Power Station.  But things didn’t go as planned at the December 1976 photo shoot  the 40-foot balloon broke from its moorings on one of Battersea’s southern chimneys  rising directly into the path of planes landing at Heathrow Airport.  All flights were grounded, and Police marksmen, chasing it, in a helicopter were given authority to shoot it down, if it drifted further into Heathrows Air Space.  It eventually fell to the ground miles away in a field in Kent.
