Cool The Boy wants to fly!

Since he could order his first rusk my son has expressed a desire to fly for a living, worryingly, the enthusiasm hasn't worn off and I'm toying with the idea of setting up a trial lesson for him.

He's 14 in October, and with me being a bit out of touch with the PPL licensing rules, could you tell me if there's a minimum age at which he can start flying lessons proper.

I think I'm right in saying that he can't obtain a licence until 16, but do you guys have an opinion on the value of starting a PPL course before then, and if there are any organisations in East Anglia that have done so previously?

Cheers.

P.S. Ive posted this here in the hope of (with respect to others) getting replies only from the people at the sharp end every day of the week.
