I didn't do the #VintageMagTweets last night because of an incident with some dodgy chicken. But today I am bright and bushy-tailed again, and ready to go.

This thread, which will be in two parts, looks at 19 magazine and the date is January 1971.

Here's something you don't see in modern magazines: models smoking.

There was a LOT in this issue. It even featured on the cover.

Almost make you wonder if they were sponsored by Benson & Hedges.

There were a few off adverts in this issue. For instance, how representative is this image of the army experience?

Or this?

Mind you, I've never been in the army so maybe it is mostly about playing with beach balls and skiing.
