Found this today in a newly re-released early short film by Jacques Tati, L’Ecole des Facteurs, otherwise The School for Postmen. I’ve a feeling I should know what it is, but I don’t, alas. Looks a bit like a Moth Minor with a different fin and rudder.
The full 15-minute film is here http://www.theguardian.com/film/video/2014/aug/06/jacques-tati-ecole-des-facteurs-school-for-postmen
and I’ve managed to get a screen grab

…..and which aerodrome?

I’d say a Moth Major looks a bit like a Luciole. But then, I am biased! However I did enjoy watching the film. Now what were the parasol wing monoplane and the glider that featured in the background of the aerodrome scenes? Your starter for ten!
caudron C800 and Morane MS 315.

Oops! I do know the difference between Moth Major and Moth Minor. But it seems my fingers don’t 😀

Caudron Luciole, I think
Agree……
Moth Minor is a low wing monoplane. The Luciole does look a bit like a Moth Major.
