Description
A Junkers CL1 fighter planes on flying show at Farnborough air show UK 2014.
The Junkers CL1 was a ground-attack aircraft, based on the Junkers J8 but with an extended fuselage to carry a gunner. First flying in late 1917 it was accepted by Idflieg, which oversaw all German military aviation, but only 47 were built by the time of the Armistice. They are the only two-seaters in the Team and one of the occupants is a dummy. See if you can work out which one it is!
Both of our aircraft are modified Bowers Fly-Babys, remodelled to look like typical CL1s. The first was originally built in 1988 by John Day, first flying with the Team in its modified form in 2003. It is now owned by Andrew Berry.
The second CL1 was also modified by John Day, first flew with the Team in 2009 and is now owned and flown by Richard Piper.
