All set to swing it in the park is JACKI OWEN, fashion model from the Midlands. Activated by gay go-go, Jacki is representative of the swinging girls of today. We asked her what she thought of the maxi fashions, and she said, "But I’ll be all covered up, I'll feel like a brown paper parcel. I'm not ready for the maxi, I'm too young ask me again in twenty-five years."

See a lot more of Rosie and many others in full colour. Check out the exclusive Spick and Span 2000 range of booklets, only available from Vintage Fetish.
To not give all the limelight to Maureen, here's a rather cheeky shot of Angela sprawled out on the bonnet of a rather beaten-up Cortina estate.
We thought we couldn't take our leave of old readers without bringing to their eyes a photograph of one of the most popular of all our models, MAGGIE McCULLY.
Maggie was an absolute winner all the way and American readers even mailed her bouquets.
Beautiful Britons No 252 - November 1976 (Final Issue)
Maggie McCully's appearance in the last issue of Beautiful Britons brings with it a bittersweet farewell to an era that some may argue had long expired. However, count me as one who disagrees. While we are well aware of the flaws that plagued the 1960s and 70s, one can't help but wonder if our present times are any better. No mobile phones, no internet, no Tinder - just three measly channels on the television. But amidst those limitations, there were tantalizing glimpses of stocking tops, enticing us with a desire for more. Oh, if only today held that same allure. Here's to Maggie and her ToCo comrades, a toast to the days gone by. So, come on, girls, let's reignite that enchantment and bring back the magic.
Three very popular ToCo lovelies. I'm not sure if this picture was ever used in a magazine without having to search through all my copies. If it wasn't, then it should have been. It has been taken from a contact sheet and is another nice contribution from tocofan.

Nothing to do with a race meeting, just to do with the fact that the going in the glamour world is good for BRITT HAMPSHIRE, a country girl who has found in London the chance of fame and fortune.
Since she arrived some months ago the photographers have been falling over their tripods to get her in focus. Britt in focus is an absolute must.
What was that loud noise? Just another cameraman going wallop.
Span No 156 - August 1967
More pictures of Maureen relaxing against a chair. Wouldn't we all like to be at home, relaxing with Maureen? There are lots more to come if you would like to see them!
Nobody gave a hoot when old Job Kuttenblower threw his spade into the turnips and went off to work in a bicycle shop in Nowton-under-Pond. He never had been the kind of feller to fill you with rapture, so when he went off and never came back, well, it didn't bother anybody except the man who grew turnips. He had to find someone else to dig them and there aren't many people who want to spend all that time with turnips.
Naturally, there's an important difference between a feller like Job and a girl like RUTH CAVENDISH. If we lived next door to Ruth, we'd break our heart every time she went off to spend a week-end with her old college chums, There are some girls one likes to keep in focus all the time. Keeping Ruth in focus gives us vibratory excruciations and you can't get pills for that sort of twittering oscillation, not even on the National Health. On the other hand, who wants to be cured?
It's sometime since we've seen Ruth. Glad you're back, beautiful, even if we are all over quivers.

One thing which can often make a visit to the doctor or the dentist a happening of unexpected pleasure, is the right kind of receptionist.
Mostly it's enough if she's terribly sympathetic and ravishingly pretty, and an eye-catching miniskirt helps as well.
Very ravishing is receptionist GWEN MORLEY, who lives in the Midlands and is absolutely just what the doctor ordered to make any male patient feel that if she won't go to a dinner-dance with him he'll shoot himself. Well, something on those lines. A sort of revitalising antidote that'll at least make the patient forget his earache.
Gwen is five feet six and measures 37-24-36, and as you can see from the following pics, is indeed any man's dream of all that he ever wanted.
Spick No 212 - July 1971
It wasn't until LYNDA FARRELL and LIZ McEWEN got down to the task of adjusting their outdoor badminton net that they realised the relative simplicity of adjustment could become a complicated entanglement.
Liz couldn't believe that Lynda could be so fiendish, and Lynda couldn't believe that Liz could get so impossibly wrapped up in the thing. Liz is the one in the patterned mini-dress and Lynda is the one with straps on her shoes.
Spick No 167 - October 1967
Last month, I asked who would be in your top 5 ToCo girls. Another favourite for me would certainly be Nancy Crawford. She is a great-looking lass, and if not in my top 5, she would certainly make it into the top ten. Thanks again to tocofan for this one, extracted from a contact sheet.

Out for the pleasure of knocking a ball about, HELEN MILLIGAN is a fashion model and RUTH CAVENDISH is training to become one, so you could say these two sporting lovelies wield a very fashionable forehand.
Both girls are Scots and the reason why they're equipped with racquets but not with tennis outfits is because the summer hasn't arrived in Scotland yet. The grass is still wet and boots still the answer.
But even a boot can fill up with water if you sink it far enough into a watery ditch, and all you can do then if you're a wet-footed Ruth is to get Helen to pull it off for you.
Time out for just sitting and doing nothing except, of course, looking long-legged and cute. There's no doubt that two bonny Scots make an even better picture than one.
