Hillary spent the next six days in a Margate hospital sprayed with tunic acid, eight weeks in a London hos. pital and four months in the. Plastic Centre for RAF pilots, where he was operated on three times by Dr Archie Meindoc, from the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He got two new upper eyelids In the first operation, two new lower ones in another, and a new upper lip in the third. He had to. have a fourth operation for a mastoid infection brought on by the burns, Hillary says he's going back eventually to get "beautified" some more and have his hands done- now his little fingers are bent double and his hands covered with scar tissue.
