Wellington over Eastern Atlantic 5 Nov 43

I./ZG 1 intercepted a Wellington at 1045 hrs in PlQ 24W/1533 on this date which managed to get away into clouds. No mentions in Coastal Command Intelligence Summary so can anyone suggest a possible candidate-nothing for 612 or 547 Sqn

Possible a Wellington on a delivery flight?

This link relates the loss of Wellington HZ129 which was shot down 19 November 1943 at location PLQ 24W/1634 (is this location close to yours?) The plane was being flown by 1 OADU (Overseas Aircraft Delivery Unit) on a flight from Portreath in Cornwall to Rabat.
