The plane was flown by it's designer, Louis Bleriot on the first crossing of the English channel on 25th July 1909. The Mk.XI went into production that year and became very popular with competition pilots in both England and France. It was later manufactured in substantial quantities for France's "Aviation Militaire" and several were supplied to Britain's Royal Flying Corps. They were used by both countries in the early part of W.W.I.
