Event Description

For three days filming switched to this location on cold and windswept Salisbury Plain, the Beatles arriving at their local hotel-the Antrobus Arms in Amesbury-at 11.20 pm on Sunday night and departing during the afternoon of Thursday the 6th. Considerable filming was done here, including an open-air (mimed) performance of “I Need You”, shot amid troops from the real-life 3 Division (which uses Salisbury Plain for exercises), gunners, machine-gunners and even a troop of horse-artillery.
