B-17 Stopover at Benbecula August 1942

On August 21, 1942 a B-17F from the 327th Bomb Squadron of the 92nd Bomb Group, enroute to Prestwick, landed at Benbecula for reasons unknown. It flew on to Tiree, then to Prestwick, arriving August 22.

I think that the aircraft was 41-24473, but am unable to confirm it. Do any logs from Benbecula or Tiree exist that might provide an answer?
