howardwhite 6 #1 October 18, 2008 Pretty rare. As far as I can tell, this one is still registered -- to an owner in Tennessee. I have no clue when or where this was taken, except it was probably in 1963 and it was probably not in Tennessee. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #2 October 18, 2008 Edgar Percival E.P. 9. Yeah baby! I was first thinking of the similarly configured Auster B.4 ambulance/freighter. Took a while to find it on the web as I didn't remember the exact name. One Auster web site also had pics of an article about Auster's failed low wing agricultural aircraft that didn't fare well in NZ / Australia compared to the Fletcher (which later resulted in the PAC 750) ... and in a corner of the article they had a drawing of yet another odd little agricultural aircraft... and that was the EP 9.

howardwhite 6 #4 October 18, 2008 Well, to pick nits... This was one of the last half-dozen built, so by then it was no longer being built by Percival or sold under that name.Interesting that in this ad, "parachute training" was among the suggested applications.
