except perhaps that on a Tiger Moth when you were swinging the prop.
4Greens,

Interestingly, the Canadian Chipmunk, unlike the UK-built one, has the mag switches in a similar position to the Tiger Moth's, where they can be seen by the ground crew:



(switch open circuit in that position, just like a UK domestic light switch).
SSD,
... but a Canadian or US domestic light switch is 'up' for closed circuit, so from a North American point of view, mag switches (in Cubs and Citabrias) are installed 'upside down'.
