I also wonder if the class 73 will be there for a naming ceremony, given the naming of GBRf No.73141 as 'Spa Valley Railway 25th Anniversary' at the Spa Valley's gala in 2022.

So, confirmation that No.73128 is the GBRf class 73/1 attending the K&ESR 50th Anniversary at Robertsbridge, newly repainted in Network South East livery by Arlington Fleet Services at Eastleigh. The Facebook post from the company teases that the loco (previously named O.V.S. Bulleid) is off to Tonbridge, then on to another location where it's new name will be revealed.
