Hey Fozzer! I can understand the confusion. I've had to fly to variegated parts of the globe for many years, so flying in big jets is like going home (almost). However, I had my first experience of real seat-of-the-pants flying at the controls in a microlight early last year, so I enjoy doing that now occasionally for real. In the sim, I also occasionally do microlights for fun - see the pic. It's photoreal south-east England.
Hi Micro...
...!Since your sad departure from our (sunny?), shores, the most popular growth in aircraft over here, due to the ever increasing costs, regulations, etc, are Microlights (Ultralights), and Flexwings...!
They are the pilots with BIG smiles on their faces...!
Modern light Microlights are as fast now as the small, older G.A., Cessna's, etc, and cost a lot less to buy, run and maintain...!
My local airfield is full of little "buzz-planes", racing around and having REAL fun now, for the cost of Pennies, (or near enough)...

Everyone would love to own, and fly, a Jumbo 747, but most all of us can barely afford a para-glider...
...!LOL...!
Cheers mate...
