Description: The Beatles: Authentic set of Beatles signatures obtained on a BEA (British EuropeanAirways) post card beautifully by John Lennon, Paul McCartney,George Harrison and Ringo Starr with Paul adding “Beatles”. The postcard was signed in blue biro by The Beatles on Wednesday February the 5th 1964 on what is now an historic BEA flight from Paris to Heathrow after the band performed a very successful run of shows over a 15 day period at the Olympia Theatre in Paris…As a warm up for their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in America.While in Paris The Beatles learned that “I Want To Hold To Hold Your Hand” went to number 1 in America. Authentic full sets of Beatles autographs are getting harder and harder to come by. What a lot of collectors don’t realize is how many times Paul would sign for John (he signed for John a lot more than people think) or how many set of Beatles signatures are out there signed by Beatles roadies Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans. These autographs were obtained by a BEA Airways flight attendant, for her cousin and how they were obtained is explained in the letter of provenance from the original recipient of these Beatles autographs (see below). Comes with a letter of provenance,which reads in part: "To whom it may concern, During the 1960's my cousin was a flight attendant with British European Airways and regularly flew to continental Europe. Passengers on one of her flights were the four members of the pop group "The Beatles": Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. At that time postcards showing a picture of the aircraft were available on the aircraft and free for passengers to take as a souvenir of their flight. My cousin took one of the postcards with a picture of a de Havilland Comet and asked Paul McCartney if he would sign it for her. Paul wrote "Beatles" and signed his name. He then passed the postcard to John Lennon who also signed his name as did George Harrison and Ringo Starr. My cousin thanked them all and on returning home gave the postcard to me,who at the time was a young teenager had a fondness for the Beatles. I have had the postcard for over 50 years and believe that the flight the Beatles were on was the BEA flight from Paris which landing at London Heathrow Airport on Wednesday the 5th of February 1964. Yours faithfully (Name and address withheld by me for privacy purposes.) This set of Beatles autographs comes with a certificate of authenticity, from a most reputable and very well known Beatles authenticator. A brilliant and historic piece of Beatles history!
