I doubt he had much choice in the matter Jim - it was a fairly short lived fashion to train some Engo's up to wings standard,one of my Jengo's in the early 70's had 'wings' but he was still stuck with being a Jengo.I would imagine some of the winged Engo's possibly managed to fly TWA (Teeny Weeny Airways/Chipmunk) on ATC summer camps but not sure if any of them managed to get onto a normal flying tour.
