Flying the Tiger Moth
One of the best Christmas presents I have received in a long time is a voucher for a flight in a Tiger Moth. According to the voucher this can be taken at Barton, Gloucester, Dunkeswell, Henlow, Manston, Oxford, Peterborough, Redhill or Wickenby. It says that flying is seasonal at some of these - I would want to go in the warmer weather, perhaps May.
My initial preference would be for either Gloucester (nearest) or Barton (where I learned to fly and am reasonably familiar with the airfield and surroundings), however I naturally want to maximise the value I get from the experience, especially in terms of "hands-on" time, so I am soliciting the opinion of the pprune experts for any advice on where to go for this, do ppruners think that the operator in any location might offer a better experience?
I would also appreeciate advice on clothing - I have only ever flown Cessnas before so open cockpit is unknown territory. What sort of height would be reached on one of these flights, how cold would it be and what should I wear?
Finally is there any basic info on this a/c that I could "gen up" on beforehand - stall speed, rate of climb etc.?
Cheers
