Yes
Dunno if someone's posted this already, but I heard a little while ago on the news that EMI are gonna be floating the Pink Floyd pig above Battersea Power Station to commemorate something or another... might be an opportunity to get some shots for some of the London TPers...
 
Must be something to do with their 1977 album "Animals" which had a pig floating above it on the cover

It's to commemorate the (yet another) re-release of their back catalog - would seem that EMI haven't finished milking that cash-cow yet.

It's their 40th Anniversary supposedly this year. Entire back catalogue has been re-mastered.

Could almost be tempted to visit the crap hole that is London to see that :)

if it's anything like the original photo-op, it'll be half way to Germany and bothering airline pilots before the end of the afternoon...

We'd probably all just get viewed as potential terrorists putting the porcine aviation industry at risk, or something :shrug:
 
35 years since Animals was released although the new zeppig is to promote the re-release of newly mastered 'Why Pink Floyd' versions of all their albums.

I'd pop down for some shots but it's a bit of a hike from up here.

Considering Matty's post, I guess not! Besides, I'd be more worried about flying sheep...
