Boy's Own!

Here's the intriguing cover of the January 1952 (presumably available in December 1951) issue of the British publication "Boy's Own Paper":

What would an early 1950s British boy say about that? Brilliant? Wicked? Gear?

The "Boy's Own Paper" was published for quite a long time, 1879 to 1967. I know I've heard the phrase "Boy's own" this or that used (somewhat derisively as in too good to be true) in old British movies and maybe this magazine is the source of that?
