Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply.

In our system we use a software update mechanism where the kernel + initfs images reside in a 'package' in NAND which gets downloaded to ram first by an initial loader so that it can be verified (CRC + a cryptographic hash). This means that the sections containing the kernel are already in RAM somewhere other than the load address...! Admittedly, the mechanism could have been designed so that taking headers into account the uImage was always at a known offset but this wasn't the way it was designed unfortunately.
