Notes: "BBC News" were at Heathrow airport in London as the lads arrived from Amsterdam then later departed for the next leg of their World tour - Hong Kong.
What actually happened here was after they had arrived from Amsterdam they were taken by bus to the terminal where
they were filmed getting off the bus then posing for the assembled press.
They then had to wait for John`s Aunt Mimi and a few journalists including Australian radio DJ Bob Rogers and his cameraman to arrive.
When their flight to Hong Kong was ready The Beatles were then driven by car onto the tarmac where they then posed with
some air hostesses (one with a giant comb who then combed George`s hair) and made their way up the stairs onto the plane.
This however was all staged just for the news cameras. Soon after they emerged back down the stairs and welcomed Aunt Mimi and DJ Bob Rogers and others onto the plane.
This is why some footage shows Aunt Mimi boarding and other footage doesn`t.
