The Beatles season continues, and although not photographed on the relevant day, it is 50 years ago this week that their third film Magical Mystery Tour was being shot. It is also worth mentioning that Nic's mum appears numerous times in the television film, first aired on BBC 1 on Boxing Day, 1967.
Some of the scenes were filmed at RAF West Malling, Kent. Taken over by the military in 1940, it was finally closed as an operational airfield in 1969.
Although the control tower (below) - now a listed building - doesn't appear in the film, a plaque (top) can be found set into the ground nearby, commemorating events.
Top: 12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/500 second at f/8. Matrix metering. ISO 160
Below: 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor. 1/320 at f/5.6. Matrix metering. - 0.33 EV compensation. ISO 160
