In 1912, Airco acquired license production rights in the UK for all Farman models and manufactured at least 825 aircraft of Farman design, the bulk being about 650 MF.11s for the RFC and RNAS. In 1916, four of the MF.11s were shipped to the Central Flying School at Point Cook, Australia, where they were reserialled, this one from B2012 to CFS20. They were bought in 1919 as surplus and this one became G-AUCW, the 29th aircraft entered in the new Australian register in 1921, changed to VH-UCW from 1930. Stored from 1933, the remains entered the RAAF Museum in 1981, used in this restoration.

Ex CFS19 with the Australian Flying Corps. Crashed in February 1926 (as G-AUBC) and its remains stored. Rebuilt in 1954 and crashed again. Rebuilt and flew in 1956. Sold in the US as N96452 without formally re-entering the Australian register. It would later end up in the Canadian Aviation Museum.

The Farman MF.11 was called Shorthorn by the British, lacking the long skids with forward elevator of the MF.7 Longhorn. A British naval MF.11 flew the first bombing mission of World War I near Ostend on 21 December 1914. There is little information about this machine in Brussels, but it appears to be authentic.
