In 1921 the Aéro-Club de France organised a contest for transport aircraft. One of the three time windows for the trials was in February, with F-YHMF the sole participant. Nocturnal flights to Lille were attempted, but the crew had to turn back to Le Bourget each time. According to artwork, F-YHMF was painted pale blue. It was owned by the manufacturer - F-HMF registrations were for the Henri & Maurice Farman company. In 1922 it was operated by the Messageries Aériennes airline for a couple of months.
