Calling all A/C Engineers!

Hello All,
I am after some advice!, I am in the RAF at the moment and I have 4 years untill I leave. I want to start a new Career In Aircraft Mechanical Engineering. I hold an ONC in Mechanical Engineering as well as a NVQ 3 In aviation. My job does not entail working on aircraft so I have no "hands on". Here are my questions-
1. Do you think at the age of 30 I am to old for an apprenticeship?
2. I am thinking of doing my HNC/HND in Mechanical engineering, will this render me over qualified for an apprenticeship?
3. What are the best companies to approach (near manchester)?
4. What can I do to make myself as attractive as possible to companies, with regard to qualifications and courses etc?

Thanks in advance for reading this post, I look forward to some responce.
