A Tiger Moth not a "proper" aeroplane compared to a....Cessna!!!!!????
Clearly the entrance standards at Cambridge are much reduced these days (or perhaps it is the study of law that has thus addled your brains. It is a foolish pursuit). A Tiger Moth will teach you infinitely more about flying than a Cessna could. You would obtain maximum kudos for obtaining a PPL on a Moth, and could do it slowly (you would have to in any event, as the Moth is more sensitive to wind than are modern aircraft) . After learning on a Moth you could step into any modern single engined piston aircraft and be ready to fly it in minutes. If you learned in a Cessna and then tried to step into a Moth, you'd need several hours to check out.
Be joyful, and fly with wind in your hair, bugs in your teeth, and oil on your trousers.
