Unfortunately, that is all I have with no further details. These pictures from the private collection of negatives are very similar to Maureen's; if you like them, I have several more that I can share. I look forward to hearing your opinions.
Actually, HELEN CANDLISH looks lovely in any kind of clothing. She's pretty cute even in a barrel or a roll of lino. In lingerie, of course, she's one hundred per cent feminine, and that, bub, counts more with us than any barrel.
If you're travelling through Ayrshire at all this summer, on your way to the Highlands, you might be lucky enough to spot Helen. Keep your glasses at the ready and let someone else do the driving.
Helen loves modelling, and there's nothing that quite beats a model who loves her work and who looks just the way Helen looks.
And when modelling the attractive briefness of the modern girl's lingerie, Helen looks lovely. Which is where we came in.

Out and about with Ann for the day. Ann gives us a teasing glimpse of her stocking tops all very prim and proper. Great smile. Pictures taken from the private collection of negatives.
Another superb unpublished picture of Helen Milligan from the Field Day set of pictures used in Beautiful Britons No. 118, September 1965. Helen is seen having fun in a dilapidated old building on what appears to be a typical grey, cold English day. This particular picture, taken from a contact sheet, had a pen strike across it, presumably indicating that it was not to be used. I believe it is a great picture; Helen looks lovely with her hair beautifully pinned up. Thanks to Tocofan, for providing the picture.
So, she is.
So would you be if you were young and beautiful instead of creaking with age. LYNDA FARRELL is irresistibly photogenic and in her mini dress is undeniably eye-catching.
Girls today are a joy in the eyes of any beholder, proving that you don't have to go to an art gallery to bring pleasure to your tired mince pies.
Lynda brings joy to the observer even when she's boarding a bus, and when she's crossing the road at the traffic lights the poor old worn-out motorists sit up as if they're giving off sparks. A bouquet of flowers is a delight, a view of the Swiss Alps superb, but Lynda tripping a joyful light fantastic over a pedestrian crossing makes a gorgeous colour slide for your projector.
As she lights up the screen all your friends say what a lovely shot of the High Street traffic lights, do show it again. And you show it again and all your friends say well, you should take more colour slides like that one instead of getting so obsessed with the Swiss Alps.
After all, one alp is very much like another, but Lynda is full of the joys and ecstatically inimitable.
In short, a smasher.

Joan Glover only appeared three times for ToCo, twice in Beautiful Britons books No. 109 and 123, both from the same photo session. Joan made her debut for ToCo in Span No. 112, December 1963, in a set titled "No Difference," where she is depicted having fun in the countryside with a random selection of sports equipment—typical of ToCo's randomness. Unfortunately, this picture was never chosen for publication. Joan certainly possessed a stunning figure; it is regrettable that we did not see more of her for reasons that may remain unknown. We must appreciate the small glimpses we have. Many thanks to Tocofan for this nice contribution.
Mad about folk music is TONI TOWNSEND.
And seen in the sylvan environment of a woodland glade, Toni looks very folksy herself. Actually, guys, she's an advertising assistant, and although they have nothing to do with her job, you might like to have nothing to do with her job, you might like to know her statistics are 37-23-37. She designs and makes her own clothes, she can play a guitar and she's just the kind of girl who makes us realise life is full of vivaciously pretty pictures.

It's easier if the gate is open and a girl can walk through, but when it's shut and LINDA DEANE has to climb over it does make a prettier picture. Prettier pictures are our line of country. Yours can be magnificent bulls. It's a free country.

It was just one of those lunchtime strolls for HEIDI MEISTER, and after a morning devoted to singeing the beards off her boss's competitors, as well as to re-arranging the flowers on his desk, Heidi found the peace and tranquillity of the Berlin Park delightfully soothing. Heidi is not the sort of secretary who comes all over frenzied when business progress seems entirely indivisible from turmoil, panic and the crash of phones being hurled about.
"If you must thunder about your executive suite," she said very coolly to her boss the other day, "the removal of your boots would make it quieter for the rest of us.
Completely intimidated, her boss meekly removed his boots. He'd been on a weekend climbing holiday in Bavaria and hadn't had time to go home for his shoes. The holes in his socks made him blush. The futility of it all was too much for Heidi so she went out into the park to get herself re-orientated. it made a nice lunchtime break for the passing photographer as well.

Well, not all of us hogged the fireside during the recent snow blitz. Some of us took off from our armchairs to participate in winter sports. Like CATHERINE SMALL of Glasgow, for instance. It takes more than a ten-foot drift to beat a bonny Scot, especially one who's found a toboggan in her attic.
Maybe if she could have found ski trews as well, Catherine would have been a little better equipped all round, except that the frills and spills in the snow wouldn't have looked as gay as they do here.
But what do you do with a wet skirt? All that snow may look like a dazzling platform to fairyland, but once you've rolled in it you find its pretty damp stuff.
Well, never mind-when you're wet, you're wet, so here we go for another spill.

Fascinating, those Eskimoes.
They eat decomposed fish, you know, and it gives them a lovely complexion. They wear huge boots and thick furs, and they always look as if they're expecting the weather to be considerably parky.
ANGELA SHAW isn't an Eskimo, but she does have a beautiful igloo look in her white fur ensemble. All the fish Angela eats has to be fresh, and as her complexion is lovely too, we're not sure if we've proved anything or tossed an argument into the arena.
You work it out. We're going to find an igloo.

Another great picture from Tocofan, I think taken from a contact sheet. Maggie McCully is standing on what must be, by now, that infamous back office ToCo table that has been seen so many times in their magazines. Maggie has a slightly odd expression, which is possibly why it was never selected to be published. However, she certainly has a fantastic pair of legs hidden under that very typical style of dress that she seemed to favour so much.
Maureen looks rather prim and proper with her Alice band as she poses for us on the kitchen table, her face framed by reflected sunlight, while at the same time giving us a little taste of what might be on offer later.
It's sort of sylvan-like in the woods, and even more so when LINDA DEANE is around. Linda, corn-coloured blonde, is fair enough to beautify any place and can always be counted on to improve the look of a discotheque or a woodland vista. Linda is a London model, working in both fashion and glamour spheres, and she has a lovely figure of 36"-23"-36"

Among the home comforts that most men look for is an armchair that will take a tired body and a glass of toddy after a hard day's work, and a devoted wife who knows how to get the best out of a hot oven. The home comfort we'd go dotty about is JULIE BLISS, brown-eyed silver blonde who's not only lovely to look at in a drawing-room but also singularly adept at amateur dramatics.
