What a fascinating story we have for you today! An amazing connection between our Sue Holderness and the Beatles back in 1964.
Sue Holderness’ father was a airline pilot and flew the Beatles to Paris back in 1964 – – it was the day that Ringo (famously missed the flight) it was in the press at the time and Sues dad saved the day by managing to get the plane to still take off from London airport
He was mentioned in the official Beatles magazine in March 1964 – Sue was a 14 year old girl
Her dad got her the three Beatles autographs
Sue still has the following…………
The three Beatles autos on an official BEA postcard
The 1964 Beatles magazine that mentioned her dad and pictures of the three Beatles who actually made the flight
The Beatles magazine shows the Beatles either boarding the flight or landing in Paris
Also attached is a signed letter from Sue telling the story by way of provenance
A photo of Sue holding the autos
The small locket she wore at school
Her diary entry of it all happening in 1964
All this would look amazing framed, especially with the Only Fools connection
Sue now pretty much has decided it may be time for someone else to enjoy these items, anyone interested should email perry@onlyfools.net
