The Beatles Jet-Set to Austria — Historic March 1965 BOAC Archive Photograph (9.5x7)

A fantastic, evocative 9.5x7 black-and-white photographic print capturing The Beatles in their heavy overcoats on the steps of a BOAC aircraft at London Heathrow Airport on the morning of Saturday, 13th March 1965. Having just wrapped filming in the Bahamas for their second feature movie Help!, this shot captures the band boarding their flight to Salzburg, Austria, to film the movie\'s legendary alpine ski sequences.

Struck on premium plain glossy photographic paper (no modern commercial watermarks), this is a beautiful slice of mid-1960s jet-set Beatlemania, perfect for custom framing.
