Interesting little piece of aviation history in this home movie from the Prelinger Archives. This is a Farman F.60 Goliath c/n 8, registration F-GEAC and christened "Artois." It was based at Le Bourget. It is listed as being withdrawn from use in 1932 prior to Air France formation. Best guess is 1930-1932. This aircraft appears to have been used exclusively on the Paris Le Bourget To London Croydon route. That flight took approximately 1:50.
