Luftwaffe daylight raid 9th November 1940

Hello all,

I'm trying to establish which unit a HE111, which dropped bombs in Shropshire at midday on the 9th November 1940, could have been from. From 54 AA Brigade HQ War Diary, we have the following:
"Daylight Ops. Raid 21 passed to the west of the gun zone and dropped bombs wide of the VP at Ironbridge. Enemy aircraft, although seen and identified as a HE111, was never in range of the LG at this VP. 12.12 hrs. 2 HE bombs and one UXB. Damage - nil".

Can anyone tell me what Luftwaffe units were operating that day and what targets were they bombing? Out of curiosity, did they lose any bombers this day also?

Many thanks,

Tom
