Back in the early '90s, some of us decided there wasn't enough 'Air' in Air Training Corps' which is why we started the Microlight project at RAF Halton, intitally for AEF with Rotax powered Cyclone AX3 aircraft, (although they pemitted cadets to be flown for AEF with certain conditions, HQAC took a dislike to Rotax engines even though the AOC himself tried one and was full of praise) then when we switched to Chevvrons which had Konig engines, HQAC funded Microlight Flying Scholarships.
