Demonstrated at the ELTA exhibition in Amsterdam in 1919 as G-5414, G-EAAF was shipped to the US in May 1920 with Handley Page intending to set up an airline there, but this was thwarted in court and the aircraft was impounded. It was taken over by Curtiss which had good relations with HP at this time, and is seen here during an event at Curtiss Field in 1922. It apparently survived here into 1925.

Mishap on arrival at the ELTA exhibition, due to the soft ground. Provisional reg G-5414 derived from O/400 s/n F5414, but only the tail of that wrecked bomber was used in this new-built airliner. To G-EAAF, the sixth entry in the G register. According to some this aircraft flew the very first international passenger service later that month on the 25th, from London to Paris with eleven pax. In 1920, G-EAAF was shipped to the USA. Photo from: KB - National Library of the Netherlands

Registered 11 Nov.1919. First flew 4 Dec.1919. The company's first pure civil transport prototype, displayed at the Paris Aero Show Dec.1919/Jan.1920. On 10 July 1923, it was damaged beyond repair when it suffered a fuel leak that starved an engine of fuel while en route from Croydon to Paris Le Bourget and was forced to make a downwind landing in a field at Poix de Picardie, Northern France. Although landed successfully, it overran into a sunken road and broke its back. The pilot and mechanic were thrown out but only slightly injured. The seven passengers were uninjured. Cancelled 22 Nov.1923
