Guinness Ad #39: Flying In Formation

October 16, 2010 By Jay Brooks

guinness-toucan
Our 39th Guinness poster by John Gilroy was undoubtedly done around the time of World War 2. It depicts a group of four Toucans flying in formation at an RAF airfield while a pair of mustachioed officers look on in surprise. They’re probably surprised because each Toucan is balancing two pint of Guinness on each of their beaks. The tagline is “Lovely day for a Guinness.”
