(Monday, July 31, 1967) — John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles flew to London Airport today from Athens, Greece, where they visited an island which they intended to purchase (click here to watch the video).

However, the plans came to nothing as The Beatles’ interest in living in the Mediterranean waned.

George Harrison had returned to London the previous day and Ringo Starr had flown back to England on July 26, 1967.
