Notes: Almost every news outlet around the World filmed The Beatles arrival in Australia at Sydney`s Mascot Airport.
They arrived during a torrential rain storm but were still expected to get on the back of a flat-bed truck and do a circuit of the airport for the thousands of fans whom most of had been there all night.
Needless to say the boys got soaked and their new suits, they had purchased in Hong Kong, got ruined.
This is footage from 'Reuters" of their journey from Mascot airport to their hotel in Kings Cross, Sydney and some footage of the crowds outside their hotel.
