21st April 1941 raid on Newark on Trent

Looking into another raid on my home town 21st April 1941. The Newark Herald reported a Heinkel 111 dropping 5 HE bombs and machine gunning the streets. It was reported there were 8 light casualties. Local ARP reports suggests otherwise , 6 people trapped in one demolished house and 27 causalities treated at first aid stations. The reports say the raider was driven off by AA and RAF fighters. It seems on that day the Luftwaffe were busy attacking London and the ports on the South coast. Any information will be gratefully received. TIA Shaun
