Our lot use 10kts as a ballpark and increase that with experience and the agreement of the CFI.
Not a type I have anything to do with, and the place I am only an occasional impressed spectator who happens to know a few of the pilots, but...

If I was looking for a serious answer to that question, I think I'd ask it at Shuttleworth. Given that the majority of their pilots are Test Pilots, and the Tiger Moth is one of their standard types, I think that they could provide you with a pretty authoritative answer between them, and enjoy coming up with it.
