Lost Voices

At 105 years old, Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell is a living link to a world most of us can only imagine. Born in 1921, Colin grew up watching Charles Lindbergh land at Croydon, dealt with black marketeers for petrol coupons, and sweet-talked a reluctant girl called Cath into a date - the woman he would go on to marry. But it was the skies over wartime Germany that would define him. Flying solo Mosquito missions deep into enemy territory, running spoof raids over Hamburg, and making terrifying flights over Berlin, Colin saw and survived things that claimed the lives of a quarter of his squadron. In this episode of Lost Voices, he reflects on courage, fear, and what it really meant to fly for your country.Follow us on Instagram @dmgnewmedia.Follow us on TikTok @dmgnewmediaFollow us on X @dmgnewmediaEmail us hello@dmgmedia.co.ukText us  020 7938 6000.Host: Chris Bryant MPProducer: Rob FitzpatrickExecutive Producer: Jamie EastProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniA Daily Mail Production.
