Am I correct in thinking that there are only nine holders of the BoB Clasp still alive?

They certainly are, and it seems a strange quirk of fate that no Battle of Britain pilot who flew single seater fighters has actually reached 100 years of age. They seem to get to mid 90,s or 99 and then pass away.

How sad. What a delightful and friendly gentleman he was. The Few are becoming very few now.
