 | | A group of wartime veterans from the legendary Blond McIndoe Centre for burns victims were treated to a day out to the Spitfire and Hurricane Museum at Manston and supper by Shepherd Neame, Kent brewers of Spitfire Premium Ale, on Wednesday (20 April 2005). |

 | | The Blond McIndoe Centre, which opened in 1961, was the culminating achievement of the efforts of the great surgeon and his friends Neville and Elaine Blond, who lent their home to convalescing airmen during the war. |
