One of the interesting things about Aviation is how late people can start. Unless you want to go to the RAF or other military service. They had their chance to have me, but turned me down. Looking on the positive side that does exempt me from the draft (which the UK does not have, unless there is a serious was on).
Seriously, though, I am trying to work out a spending plan for lessons. Unfortunately the old "hanger rat" routine has gone by the board. Shame.
