Good to hear you'r doing well
We had this young lad age 13- 14 years - came up to Biggin from Battersea most eves after school to clean club planes, taxi for fuel, and general duties -in return for half hour flying or so weekly - On 16th birthday (or eariest date to qualify) passed flying test - not long after was 2nd officer Brit Airways or similar title - Hope you find this encouraging.
