Edgar Percival formed a new company in 1955 to build
the E.P.9 agricultural aircraft and a batch of 20 was
begun, the first flying in December 1955. Powerplant
was a 270hp Lycoming GO-480. In 1958 a new
company, Lancashire Aircraft Corporation, was set up
and the type named Prospector. In all, 28 were built
including one uncompleted airframe; a number were
exported, mostly to Australia. G-ARDG was a one-off
Mk II with a 375hp Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah
engine.
