Question Honest answers appreciated!

Hi, I am new to the forum and am after some honest pertinant advice. I am currently planning for the future. I am currently serving in the British Army as a Bomb Disposal Officer and have always had the desire to fly, unfortunately too tall for Army aviation, gazelle was built for the vertically challenged! I am due out of the services at the age of 38 with a full pension (thanks your majesty!) and enough money to self fund an ATPL course. Do people think that 39 after training will be too old to secure a UK based position?? I have been doing plenty of research. Would I be too old to apply for any of the few scholarships floating around?? Any advice would be greatly apprecitated. Many thanks in advance.
