Notes: From September 19 to 24, the Beatles relocated to West Malling Air Station in Maidstone, Kent, where they filmed various
interior and exterior scenes for the project.The decision to film at West Malling Air Station was made due to the band`s
short notice and their inability to secure available studio space in London. NEMS Enterprises, the Beatles management company,
rented the army base for the week, providing ample space for filming and allowing the band to experiment with different locations and settings.

To avoid the daily 50-mile commute to and from the location, the band members opted to stay at The Great Danes Hotel in
Maidstone, approximately nine miles (14km) from the filming site. The hotel provided a relaxing retreat for the band and cast,
who often gathered in the bar in the evenings to unwind and socialize.

While the details of which scenes were filmed on each day vary depending on the source, the 2012 reissue of "Magical Mystery
Tour" provides a schedule that confirms the first day of filming at West Malling Air Station was dedicated to shooting Aunt
Jessie`s dreadful dream sequence, which famously includes John Lennon serving spaghetti using a shovel.
