It's a great experience and even better on a warm day. Did your pilot show you a slide slip to reduce speed before landing? I've only had one Tiger Moth flight but it was memorable.
The inverted Gypsy engine is interesting too - an unmistakable sound.

Once I expressed an interest in the mechanics of it I got a cowl off tour of the engine.

Well, just wow!!!
