Imported into Australia by merchant Lebbeus Horden. The pilot is Maurice Guillaux who would two months later fly the first air mail from Melbourne to Sydney in a Bleriot. In September 1914, Horden donated the Farman to the Australian Government. It was given the serial CFS7 (Central Flying School) and later converted to a landplane. Its existence was last recorded in June 1917. In 1914 there was no water airport at Rose Bay. It would be the 1930s before Qantas chose the sheltered bay as the terminus for its flying boat services.
