George Harrison, his wife Pattie and The Beatles’ assistant Mal Evans returned to England from Greece on this day, to prepare for a trip to Los Angeles.
They had been in Greece to visit an island which they intended to purchase. The deal never came to fruition, however.
The Harrisons flew to America on 1 August 1967.
