The Wisconsin-based Percival EP9 (it looks like a Cub that was rear ended by a BO105 helicopter fuselage) at Oshkosh had a "For Sale" sign on it.

Anyone know who the owner is and how I could get in touch with him?

That's another one of those, "unique..I want ones". British spade-grip control stick.
You could even paint her in Royal Artillery spotter colors, as they evaluated one for service.
Neat airborne pickup truck!

There is an article on the web at Osh, where Christie explains the E.P.9

first article on the page.

Hi Guys,

Im trying to get a ride in an EP9. Anyone know who I can get in touch with?

Long story but it involves a close family connection to the type.
