Justiciar's advice is sound, as always!
I have quite a few Tiger hours as I rather foolishly owned one for a while. Nowadays, you would be hard pressed to actually get me to accept one as a gift.
I have flown very few hours in both the Stampe and the Jungman and consider them both to be far better aircraft!
There was a very pretty Tiger on the ramp at Perth last Sunday, father and son up from Northants.
There are Tigers at Cambridge, depending upon your location in Essex this could be more convenient than Headcorn/Lashenden.
