Boeing's brand new airplane the 787, Dreamliner pays a visit to Heathrow.

Quite amazing inside and out. The outside skin of the aircraft is smooth as there's no rivets because of the carbon fibre materials it's made of. The windows don't have blinds anymore but get darker by pressing a button, all very whizzy.

The Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines are enormous but supposedly quieter and more fuel efficient than previous models.

All very high tech and quite good fun to get a chance to nose round like this.
