Really excellent presentation.Mark has a very George-esque sense of humour which I always enjoy, along with his forensic eye for detail.

The visuals really do help tell the story -- seeing the passport photos was quite something.

could it be John was the one who took that picture at the Netherlands cemetary?

Barry Chang, a pal of Paul and George's at the Liverpool Institute, snapped the famous photo.

7:22 I can’t read Dutch but is “Volkswagenbusje” a generic term for that type of vehicle, even though the Beatles van was a different marque?

@mhwg888 Жыл бұрын

Probably. The VW van ("busje" or "little van" in Dutch) was probably the standard at the time in that category. The only competitor I remember (having grown up in the '70s in the NL) is the Citroen H Van (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_H_Van). I don't think British car brands were all that present in the NL at the time, possibly simply because of cost of transportation across the chanel; possibly as a result of the proto EU organizations, which were aimed at Coal & Steel in Europe to prevent Germany and France from going to war (again). Of course, the two most prevelant vans at the time were German and French as described.

@mhwg888 Жыл бұрын

I imagine the journalist who wrote the article didn't fact-check things all that well and simply assumed it was a Volkswagenbusje, just as he assumed that Ringo was with them (see at the end of the article where he imagines the famous four standing in front of that war memorial in Rotterdam).

@Extreme_Rice Жыл бұрын

Thanks, that does make sense. Oddly enough those Citroën H vans (or replicas) are very popular with street food vendors in the UK now, but there wasn't enough demand at the time for them to make a right-hand drive version. I did notice the van in the stock photo of the garage was a Volkswagen one.
