Summary
A toy aeroplane manufactured by Fisher Price (possibly 1970s). The plane is predominantly made of plastic, with a white body, red wings and tail, blue jet engines and black wheels. On each side of the tail of the plane are stickers reading 'Fisher Price Fun Jet'. The cockpit is open and contains the swivelling head of a pilot wearing a red cap. The cockpit controls are printed on a sticker which is stuck in the cockpit. The body of the plane contains three round windows on one side and on the other side, two windows and a bottom hung curved door containing steps on the inside. This swings down to form the steps into the plane. Inside the plane are four 'seats' (holes for Fisher Price people), and a storage area, all made of red plastic. The aeroplane is accompanied by three Fisher Price people with wooden bodies and plastic heads and hair. There is an adult woman wearing blue with blonde hair in a bun, a girl wearing blue with blonde hair in pig tails and a baby wearing orange. There is also a plastic person from a different toy, wearing a blue top and orange bottoms. Total number of items is 5.
