There seems to be a range of opinions about the Tiger Moth!
Slight thread drift to broaden the discussion, hope no-one minds....
To me it seems self-evident that any light, piston-engined, open cockpit, tail-dragging bi-plane of that era is bound to be found lacking in many ways, especially to us more accustomed to modern aircraft.
I would be interested to know which planes of similar design, purpose and age are considered to be significantly better or worse, and the reasons for this.
