Notes: Following two days at Twickenham Film Studios, work on A Hard Day`s Night moved to Gatwick Airport.

The Beatles arrived at 10am. 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.

The crew for the documentary "Follow The Beatles" were there and filmed some footage.
