Beautiful plane but what a 'hairy' landing at the end. Did the pilot remember a spare pair of trousers?

Tiger, hairy? why? It was soft like landing a floating cotton cloud. If that is 'hairy' for you, you have to watch me landing in the sim and RL, when detritus filled trousers can become a global menace.

I admit I don't have much experience on soft field landings in tail draggers, and it's a long time since I have been behind the controls of a light plane, but my comments were based on the approach of about 30 degrees left of the centre line, crabbing and side slipping just before touch down, the final kick on the rudder to get the plane lined up with the runway - touch down on one wheels and ploughing through puddles and the rough nature (in general) of the paddock he landed on!

Maybe I should stick to Cessna's and Pipers! you know if I sell my children I just might be able to afford to get my currency back!

Great looking landing! I was hoping he would make it the first time I watched it. The turn just before touch down is the recommended because of the terrible visibility in the 109
