Attack on a trawler in North Sea on 23 January 1941 or later

Hello,

On 23 January 1941, the British trawler Arora left Aberdeen for fishing with 9 men aboard and the disappeared. A lifeboat was later recovered west of the Orkneys riddled with bullets and containing bomb splinters, I have not the date of that recovery.

Has someone a report of a German bomber or reconnaissance aircraft attacking a trawler in the area between Scotland and the Orkneys on 23 January 1941 or the next day ?

Thanks in advance
