Look up the CTC wings cadet scheme. Your not too old for it... just. One thing though, given you are slightly older than the average CTC applicant, you would have to be super confident and very clued up on all things aviation. Im talking plane types, design, future aviation, role of pilots, aviation law etc etc. Although if you did a solo flight you must have done a fare bit of studying already....

Its probably the best option as far as I'm aware...

I was talking to my instructor today and her friend in Edinburgh (aged 40) did a career change, got his license and has an interview with Ryanair next week. Its not impossible, although you have to be ultra dedicated. Im 27 and basically just starting out and although my instructor (age 26 lol) laughed when I asked if I was a bit on the old side, I know I am really, particularly when I hop out of the cesna with my instructor and hand the keys to a 17 year old kid off flying on his own.
