Cranwell Light Aeroplane Club CLA.2

The Cranwell CLA.2 was a two-seat single-engined biplane designed and built for the 1924 Lympne light aircraft trials.

It was first flown at Cranwell at 14 September 1924 with a Bristol Cherub as G-EBKC, it went on to win the £300 Reliability Prize at Lympne.

After the light plane trials the CLA.2 went to RAF Martlesham Heath for evaluation but it was written off by an Air Ministry pilot. The Air Ministry compensated the club for the loss and this was used to fund the next project.
