(Sunday, September 23, 1973) — Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and his group Wings left Lagos today and returned home to England, having recorded most of their next album, Band On The Run.

They had been scheduled to arrive back at 6pm on September 22 but their plane was delayed at Lagos due to a brake failure. (Many fans who turned up at the airport the previous day were disappointed.)
