1980 (summer, early fall?) with Sean

Lovely picture.

It is, isn’t it? Sad though, knowing what was soon to happen.

Yup! Sure was. If only John had stayed on his estate in Ascot. Who leaves an estate like that, to go live in a block of flats!!

Not exactly a “block of flats!” They had one entire FLOOR of the Dakota!

[NJR]

@wandy Doesn’t the Dakota remind you of the original Strawberry Field building?

[wandy]

@njr Sorry. One floor, 20 floors, it's still a block of flats. No comparison to a country estate. I think Tittenhurst Park was even bigger than Friar Park

No f-ing way! I will PM you a photo from above of Friar Park. The place is MASSIVE! I have only been able to see the gate house and the other 2 houses that are close to the road. George’s brother (Harold I think) lived in the gate house until his death in 2012. (If it was Peter, he died in 2007 at age 66. Harold was 78.)

[wandy]

@njr Yes he was the estate manager

Yes it does! Very similar indeed...

[wandy]

@kㅤ yes it does. Quite Gothic looking.

[NJR]

This will be like a “Where’s Waldo?” (or “Wally” to the Brits)
Where’s Paul, John, George, Ringo, Neil and Brian? They are all in the photo.

[NJR]

Extra points if you can name the city and year. There are clues in the photo.

@njr I can see all the Beatles, assuming that is George running on the outside of the main group. Can't see Brian. Judging by the Beatles style I'm guessing it's 65 possible 66. Haven't a clue about the location but the sun is shining, so I will guess Florida.

If you zoom in on the cop’s arm, you’ll see it says “Wayne County” which you wouldn’t know, but it’s where Detroit, MI is. Brian’s distinctive hair is seen behind Neil. Yes, George is running near the nose of the plane. And The Beatles played in Detroit 2 shows (2pm, 7pm) on Aug. 13, 1966. Never played there in 1965. And their hair is definitely not 1964, although they played there in 1964. So has to be 1966.

P.S. Do you think the sun only shines over here in Florida?

What the heck is Paul wearing on his foot?
(Mary Hopkin far left, so this is 1968)

Haven't a clue to be honest. I understand Florida is known as "the sunshine state"? So I guess, yes lol!!!

And George's footwear looks a but odd too. I wonder if Macca ever made a "play" for Hopkin. She is, after all, blond. I wonder if they are the green trousers George wore on the roof of Apple, when they did the rooftop concert The colour looks to be too bright. And if they are not, then what is it with George and Green trousers

They could be the same trousers.

Yeah, George has weird boots on too. Plus Ringo’s fly has no flap to hide the zipper!
Paul was 26 in 1968 and Mary turned 18 that year on May 3rd. Who knows if they “got together?” Not out of the realm of possibility! She married Tony Visconti in 1971 and they divorced in 1981.

My money is on the possibility that that both green trousers are one and the same.
