Too old for apprenticeship?

Hi, this is my first post on the forum so go easy on me!

Heres the deal. I'm 28 years old, and I'm looking to change careers into aerospace as an engineer. I currently work as a military vehicle fitter, and have done since doing an apprenticeship with the mod when I was 19.
In my mind I see the best way to get into this career is to do an apprenticeship, and I'm prepared to go back to the start and learn everything from the ground up! Now, from what I've read government funding for apprenticeships ends at 24. So my question is this: Is anyone going to take me on as an apprentice at my age?
