Dream ‘green’ arrivalis late

BOEING’S much-delayed “leaner and greener” new passenger plane — the 787 Dreamliner — touched down in Britain for the first time yesterday.

Beset by production problems, the Dreamliner landed at Farnborough ahead of the start tomorrow of the seven-day, biennial international airshow at the Hampshire airfield.

Powered by Rolls-Royce engines and with many of its parts made in Britain, the Dreamliner is trumpeted by US-based Boeing as being lighter and more fuel-efficient than its rivals.
