40 was a lot back then before ww2 , the usual rate for everything bigger than a one seater was 1 hp/10 kg(20lbs)
and this works with those low wingloads and airfoils...

there is a wiki ...with the whole story.

It was later based at Goodwood and registered to the Duke of Richmond until 14th APRIL 1938 when ownership was transferred to Hordern Richmond Aircraft at Denham. It was grounded during the war and was later to be found hanging from the roof of Hordern Richmond Propeller factory in Haddenham. It's ultimate fate is not known.
