Cross purposes - the original photo I posted is only one shot - I think you're talking about the Norwich Thorpe film over which I don't think there is any doubt.
Isn't that rather unfair, seeing as your original post stated that your money was on the photo being from the same 1939 Norwich event as the film?

Sincere apologies if my comment caused offence - that was not my intention at all.

The absence of 4489 in the photo I posted doesn't (of itself) mean the photo wasn't taken at Norwich, but I agree with your comment that its presence with full streamlining in garter blue implies the dates you mentioned for the Norwich film - I didn't think that was in doubt. It was simply my best guess until the link to the Ilford photos was posted and suggested otherwise.

Howard.
