Two days after arriving back in the UK from the Bahamas, The Beatles boarded the 11am flight from London Airport to Salzburg, Austria to continue filming Help!
Four thousand fans witnessed their arrival in Salzburg Airport, as did dozens of journalists and film crews. The group held a press conference at a nearby hotel before checking into the Hotel Edelweiss in the village of Obertauern.
The Beatles filmed all their Austrian scenes in Obertauern, where they stayed until 22 March 1965.
