Video: 'The Beatles Filming At Gatwick Airport For A Hard Day`s Night - Follow The Beatles - 13 March 1964'

(Friday, March 13, 1964, The Beatles arrived at 10:00 a.m. GMT) — Following two days at Twickenham Film Studios, work on The Beatles’ first motion picture A Hard Day’s Night moved to London’s Gatwick Airport today.

The first scene to be shot was the one which closes the film, in which the group run to board a helicopter and reams of signed promotional photographs are scattered as they ascend.

In the afternoon The Beatles were filmed fooling around on a helipad. A helicopter was flown overhead, with an airborne cameraman filming their antics.

The footage was later incorporated into one of the film’s two “Can’t Buy Me Love” scenes.
