F-AHAF first flew as a three-engined F.120 (F.4X) Jabiru on 21 February 1925 - see other photo. Supposedly it crashed in four-engined F.121 (F.3X) form only three months later in Romania. According to more credible information it flew until withdrawn in October 1931. Veteran pilot Colonel Gilbert Casse died on 31 October 1925 and in all likelihood the aircraft was named after his passing away.
