looks just like one of the '50s trash haulers - Packet/Boxcar but isn't. The eyebrow windows are Noratlas but that has 3 square screen panels, not 2. What does "164" in the control wheel boss signify?

Hmmm...

Well, it isn't a Fairchild. I don't know what the numbers on the control yoke mean.

As a hint, the Martin 404 was not far off the mark.

Your clue was too helpful, evansb.

That's a fine print of Martin's best. I remember a nice ride from YOW to DCA on an Eastern machine back in the sixties.

Next up, shouldn't take long:

I too thought Bri had left a significant clue when I found this reference to the History of the Fisher-Price Airplane (Tu-164 / FP-72)

However, it was not the case and I couldn't find a reference to 1st April anywhere
