My vote goes to the Piston Provost. As a young 18 year old in 1955 I found it difficult, but satisfying. The poor forward visibility when taxying was the start of the difficulties, it would swing quickly on the take off and landing run if not watched carefully, but was a very good aerobatic machine. After the Provost the Vampire was a peice of doddle!
