Thanks for your replies, that actually puts my mind at rest as I imagine, now I come to think about it, that an aircraft of that age would be more "challenging" to handle than a cessna.
It makes me even more keen to achieve proficiency on type as I realise I will improve my handling skills and overall levels of experience so the whole exercise will be considerably more than a purely romantic historical reenactment.
Taking the challenging nature of the Tiger into account I have decided that a tail wheel conversion on a Cub (whilst also familiarising with A/G grass strip operations) is a sensible way of managing the learning curve.
I took a run up to Andrewsfield on Saturday and, as well as it being about 35 mins from me by car, seems to be busy, friendly & popular so my plan is crystallising around tail wheel conversion at Andrewsfield and then Tiger flying down at Headcorn.
Thank you all for your posts on this thread.
