The Beatles - The Night Before (HELP!)

 I might now sign off for the day with this a favourite Beatles song from the film Help! 

It is filmed on the southern moor of Salisbury Plain (Knighton Down, Larkhill) where the MOD practiced tank manoeuvres hence the army motif the security for the ‘boys’ demanded the Army look after as they realise Ringo is being sought by nefarious ‘baddies’ among the scenes filmed during this time. Also on hand were troops from 3 Division, Royal Artillery, who were on exercises there at the time. The army also allowed their tanks and other equipment to appear in the film but it was a clearly freezing and the boys were incredibly tolerant to do take after take to sync and sing along to the recordings as part of the film. When they weren’t outside in the cold and windy conditions, The Beatles stayed at the Antrobus Arms in Amesbury. They arrived at the hotel on the night before the shoot began, shooting began on the 3 May and they left on the afternoon of 6 May.
