1977-May - In Search Of Pink Floyd

This is one of the most peculiar radio documentaries about the Floyd you're likely to hear. The premise is that the station are trying to track down the Floyd for an interview, but they go about it in a most round-about fashion. There's a wind-up right at the end, but they never did get to speak to the band...

They did speak with Alan Parsons, Roy Harper, one of the band's technicians and various others though and the show is somewhat enlightening about the 'Flying Pig' incident over London, when it broke free of it's tethers while shooting the pictures for the 'Animals' album cover. And the presenter speaks at length with a rather bemused night-shift manager at Heathrow Air-Traffic Control...
