Just to keep the record straight these aircraft were officially known as Beech Traveller Mk I when in Royal Navy/Fleet Air Arm service, Traveller with 2 LLs. The UC-43 Traveler, with only 1 L, was the US Army Air Corps designation and GB-2 the US Navy one. In civil life they were Beech 17 Staggerwings. Lots of ways of describing basically the same aircraft...

I was looking at my old photographs this afternoon and guess what I came across. This was at Popham nr. Basingstoke June 1994, open day and fly-in.

Hi

I know this is an old post and long ago but I was just chatting about my grandad who was Stanley Deeley in the original photograph.

Hoping this reaches NicolaLee99 as I believe your grandad was his brother? Am I right? We have no connections to that side of the family it would be great to connect!
