I believe mustpost has it right. The F60 was operated by the Compagnie des Grands Express Aeriens from March 1920. It was one if not the first airliner conversions from a WW1 bomber design. Another less fortunate first was to be part of the first mid air collision. (Googled info, not original research).
Fascinating to see the space and what appears to be stairs down to a lower deck (which threw me at first, looking for early double deckers or Zeppelin!).
I think Ryanair would try to get up to 80 in there, not 8!!
