The "truck bed" is the livery of the famous "Pickfords" movers company.
The film can have been made no later than 23 May 1914, this being the date on which Hamel went missing over the English Channel. Perhaps this will allow a reduction of the clip's current date-range of 1910-1919.
Yes, that would make sense! We'll get that date range narrowed.
There's much more footage of this aircraft in clip 2378.15, (a small amount of the footage from this clip also appears in it).
Further to my earlier comment, this same story appears to be continued in clip 2378.15.
This footage was taken at Dover, in April 1913, to record on film the beginning of a long distance flight undertaken by Gustav Hamel in the 'Britannia' Bleriot, which was paid for by subscriptions and later donated to New Zealand. The older man accompanying Gustav Hamel is Frank Dupree of the 'London Standard.' He was an American journalist, resident in London. The flight between Dover and Cologne took place on April 17th 1913. In May, the Bleriot used was officially named 'Britannia' by Lady Desborough, in a ceremony at Hendon Aerodrome. It was shipped over to New Zealand later that year.
