Which Licence? - Help Please

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am looking to take up private flying when I leave the RAF in a few weeks time. I do not hold any licences (spent 30 yrs+ as an AEO on Nimrods, Sea Kings etc blah) but I do wish to remain flying when I hang up my Strop!

I cannot afford to buy an aircraft, but I probably could afford a microlight type vehicle. My question is this....

Am I better off getting a ppl and then getting a 'microlight' ticket, or, do you think it's better to get a microlight licence and then upgrade to ppl later perhaps??

I would be grateful for any advice on what you think I should do, who to contact etc.

My thanks to you all
