D-BEBE I first saw on 27/3/70. My previous visit to the airport was on 22/3/70 when it wasn't present, so yes, it must have arrived between these 2 dates. It was at Blackpool when I visited there on 26/10/70, and was registered to British Island as G-AYMG on 13/11/70.
Air Pictorial (May 1970) mentions the Islander G-51-154 as ferrying Bembridge-Luton for painting on 17/3/70. I can't find any reference in Air Pictorial to the Herald's arrival date.
