The Debrief
Tuesday, 29 April 2025 - 1 hour 7 minutes
In this episode of The Debrief, former SAS hardman Big Phil Campion sits down with Squadron Leader Colin S. Bell DFC AE — a true British hero and one of the last living legends of World War Two.Colin flew 50 combat missions over Nazi Germany in a Mosquito bomber, including 13 raids over Berlin, dodging flak and fighters night after night as part of the elite Pathfinder Force. He trained in the USA before Pearl Harbor, taught both American and British pilots how to fly, and later ferried warplanes across the Atlantic through ice and storms. If that wasn’t enough, he ended his RAF career flying solo diplomatic runs across Europe and Africa.Now over 100 years old, Colin’s still sharp, still standing, and still schooling us on what real resilience, courage, and duty look like. In this raw and unfiltered chat, he and Phil go deep on war, life, legacy, and how the UK has changed since the 1940s.This isn’t just history — this is living history. Sit back and soak it up. Legends like Colin don’t come around twice.Follow This Podcast To Be Notified Of New Episodes, Visit Our Social Media Platforms & YouTube Channel For More Bonus Content, And Listen Live To Our Radio Station:Listen Live: https://www.forceradio.live/Visit Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@forceradiohq
