Ar 240 over England

The Schiffer profile on the Ar 240 says that T9+GL flying from Paris-Orly flew a high altitude mission over England on 1st. Feb. 1944. Is anymore known about this, I could not find a mention of a recon. mission that day from British sources.
The only thing I could find was that on the morning of the 24th. Feb. 1944 it was recorded that London had its first daylight alert for seven months, when two high altitude recon. aircraft approached the capital. These were unsuccessfully engaged by AA guns.
