It should be remembered that the Tiger was used for training in the 39/45 war. It's a bit unfair to compare it with much more modern aircraft even including Chipmunks. The Chippy had a disturbing tendency to swing a bit on landing on a runway, if not watched carefully.
Modern? Stampe? Jungmann? They are similar vintage and have infinately superior handling to the Tiger Moth.

Chippy swing on landing? Not in my very conderable expeience on type (30+ years of strip flying, aeros etc).
