Having learned to fly on Tiger Moths which were maintained by Fairey Aviation at White Waltham I just cannot relate to the comments here. I have flown some others that were not nearly as nice to handle, maintained by other organizations, and it's all in the rigging. But let me say that the first time that I flew a Cessna 172 I thought that was the worst handing aircraft ever, heavy on the controls and sluggish. All the Jodels had handling I liked. My present aircraft is a Grumman AA5, one of the nicest handling machines ever, responsive controls and excellent visibility in climb. Incidentally, someone made mention of G-ANEZ earlier in this thread. That was once part of the Fairy Aviation fleet.
