I completely concur with FL's assessment of the Tiger Moth (a great airplane to have flown, much like Scunthorpe is a great place to be from). However, I really don't think enough has been made in these posts of the true horribleness of the Tiger Moth. Seriously. It's nastiness as an aeronautical abortion has only just been hinted at in these pages. I can't say "words cannot describe" because there are words that can describe the horrendous hideousness of the beast, but none of those words are appropriate for a family show. Really. There should be a special place in Hell reserved for the designers (we can't call them "aeronautical engineers" because they clearly showed that they weren't) where they have to spend eternity trying to make coordinated turns and trim the bastard, all at the same time.
There must be something perverse in my nature, but the more I read stuff like this, the more I want to fly one.
