Gary Critcher<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have just discovered these excellent quality pictures of The Beatles before the \u201cOur World\u201d broadcast.<\/p>\n
Might someone know what it is that Paul has in his hand in the first photo (some sort of BBC press release perhaps?)?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nBut wait, what\u2019s that in the background of these last two photos?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMike Giles<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt could be MCR28. The Bristol unit was certainly involved in some respect with the Beatles for “Our World”<\/p>\n
Alec Bray<\/strong><\/h3>\nUnfortunately, the rear end of MCR28 does not match up with the unit shown in the photo.<\/p>\n

[Ed: since this page was first published, more information has been provided by David Taylor]<\/em><\/p>\nDavid Taylor<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nI perhaps wonder<\/span> if that Pye photo (credited to have come from Richard Ellis) of the complete scanner is MCR28…or perhaps an earlier one.<\/p>\nMCR27 [and MCR28] had the same registration letters – ‘AYH7..’ as are seen in the Abbey Road car park photo and MCR27 and MCR28 were both delivered after the others….and were slightly modified.<\/p>\n
Brian Summers is the definitive source (with Nick Gilbey) of info about these scanners, and I had some correspondence [with him] about the identifiable differences between the OB at Abbey Road and previous photos I had seen.<\/p>\n
The photo of MCR27 on the newsletter<\/a> [of the MCR21 Preservation Trust] [shows] the repositioned door and a matching (well, 4 digits matching) registration number. So I guess MCR28 had a similar registration number. That makes it either of those in the Abbey Road car park!<\/p>\nThe newsletter shows MCR27 (in Scotland after colour conversion)….look at the rear end:<\/p>\n
