Why do it if it's not fun?

I think that the club at White Waltham have a Piper Cub: I'm not sure what 'flavour', but FFF can probably tell you.
White Waltham have a Super Cub. It's horrendously over-priced (the same as a PA28, and the PA28s are overpriced to start with) and they don't have any true tail-dragger instructors there to show you how to fly it properly. But yes, it is a fun aeroplane to blast around the skies in.

If you want to do tail-dragger flying out of White Waltham, the Cap 10 would be better, but I think that tends to be used for aeros training and won't be particularly fun flown right-way-up. Not sure what the score is with Tiger Moth operations at WW right now, the club itself don't operate any but there is usually someone there offering "trial lessons", and a call to the club should get you the correct phone number.
