Henri Farman H.F.23

  This version of the H.F.20 was powered by a 80-hp Gnome Lambda. It had a considerably larger wing than the standard H.F.20 and was produced in both landplane and floatplane versions. Later versions were fitted with a 160-hp Gnome engine.
  Nine H.F.23s were used by the Marinens Flygvasennde (Swedish naval air service). The first was obtained in 1913 and probably was used as a pattern aircraft for the Sodertelge Verkstaders Aviatikavdelning (SW), which built at least seven under license. These were designated SW 11s. An additional two F.23s were obtained directly from Farman. Individual aircraft histories are as follows:
   1. H.F.23 - obtained 1913 and designated F 1. It is believed to have been given serial S 21. Crashed February 1917.
   2. SW 11 - obtained 1914 and designated F 2. Serial number S 25. Crashed 18 September 1916 and SOC (struck off charge) in October 1916.
   3. SW 11 - obtained 1914 and designated F 3. It was given serial S 26 and redesignated serial no.3 in 1917. SOC October 1920.
   4. H.F.23 - obtained 1914 and designated F 4. It was given serial S 27. Crashed 18.July 1915.
   5. SW 11 - obtained 1914 and designated F 5. It was probably given serial S 244 and was redesignated serial no.5 in 1917. Crashed 12 February 1920 and SOC in October 1920.
   6. SW 11 - obtained in 1915 and designated F 6. It crashed on 19 October 1916 and was SOC two months later.
   7. SW 11 - obtained in 1915 and designated F 7. It crashed on 15 July 1915.
   8. SW 11 - obtained in 1915 and designated F 8. It was given serial no.8 in 1917 and was SOC in October 1920.
   9. SW 11 - obtained in 1915 and designated F 9. In 1917 it was given serial no.9. It crashed on 20 May 1919 and was SOC in August 1920.
  A single H.F.23, given designation F 10, was obtained by the army in 1914. It was withdrawn from service in 1916.
