104-year-old Second World War pilot Colin Bell criticised the government's proposed defence spending target, telling veterans minister Alistair Carns, “I think it’s rubbish.”
Mr Bell, who joined the RAF at 19 and carried out 50 bombing raids over Germany, urged immediate action, calling for defence spending to rise to 5 per cent of GDP as the country commemorated VE Day at 80 on Monday (5 May).
