Best VFM Flying School in USA/UK?

Good afternoon everyone,
I am a 41 yr old soon to be ex-RAF rear crew (redundancy) with 20 yrs and 4000+ hours, however no flying experience. I am looking for a career change and thought I'd put my redundancy to good use and embark on as career as a Pilot. My questions to the vast amount of qualified people that I hope will read this thread are these:

Where is the best place to learn to fly. US or UK?
Can you recommend and flying schools I can take a look at?
With zero flying experience, how any hours should I be looking to accumalate before applying to an airline?
Could my RAF experience help me at any schools?
How much and how long, realisitcally will all of this take?

Thanks in advance to all who read and/or contribute to this thread. I will endeavour to respond promptly to any replies; work permitting.
