This one is beginning to drag on so I'll give in to the fact the plane is at Gibraltar Airport.

Now complete the puzzle (anyone) by stating why the position/location of the aircraft is almost unique (to the best of my understanding)

Is the plane on the photo on Winston Churchill Avenue, the road intersecting the runway?

Not sure if this is too easy, but let's try it. Simple question: Which U-boat is shown on the attached photo and what is noteworthy about it.

Well that was misleading since Gibralter is not east of France. I was starting to look at airports in Finland.

You may want to try again and obscure the name of the photo.

That was actually a devious bit of misdirection on my part. Sorry about that. No, this is not U-47.
Off course U-47 is famous for the snorting bull emblem but there were other U-boats that carried the emblem. Maybe not so easy after all.
