Pretty subjective in the analysing ..... even the differences between a Tiger and a Chippy are so marked, comparisons, as they say, are invidious. Bit like a
First World War test pilot being asked to say in what way a Maurice Farman Shorthorn differed from an Avro 504K . (He'd splutter in his beer). Or a Model T Ford from an Escort or a Capri. Or an apple from a pear. Chalk and cheese.

Go back into Flight and Flight International archives. Dig out flight reports by Cliff Barnett, Hugh Field, Mark Lambert and a number of other outstanding pilot/journalists. When comparisons are made, they are valid , apposite, and between closely matched competitive models, then in production.
