Have recently acquired a post preserved photo of 4472 carrying FLAMINCO or FLAMINGO nameplates. I wondered when it carried these and for how long?

Is there any date or place on the photo? It has had some other names on it. It had flying fox name plates on it for a photo charter at nene valley railway once.

I suspect it was taken while it was after the loco came back from Australia and did a tour of various preserved lines. It was probably only named for a day or two.
