Well to me it suggests a fairly low sun angle and aeroplane that is pitched up and rolled left. To deduce how much pitched up and how much rolled left one would first need to know the sun angle. Hence my suggestion of starting with the tower shadow.
I tried all 4 rotations of the image and 90 deg clockwise from the published image makes most sense to me. Mid to late afternoon spring or autumn is as far as I got but, at that time of day 45 deg pitch and roll seems more than enough for that shadow.
It's along time since I lived in UK and I've become used to sun angles in Arizona so I could be way off. I'm sure some of the current or retired photo analysts would come up with a much better answer.
