Isn't that the same thing?
Or do you mean there are some younger ones left?

Erm, I think there are still a few of the Few still with us. The article refers to FL Lt Walker as being the oldest surviving Battle of Britain veteran, not the last one ever. |

You'd have to assume absolutely the youngest spitfire pilot to fly in 1940 would be at least well, 85 by now? Nearer 90 probably... |

I believe the youngest to fly was 19 in 1940. He'd be 91 now. |
