Luftwaffe Raid On Portreath 20/21 May 1941

I would be grateful if anyone could supply any details of which unit/s bombed Portreath on the north Cornish coast on the night of 20/21 May 1941 and which base they flew from. I would also be interested to know if there was any assessment on the success of the raid.

I have local Cornish records detailing at least 116 HE bombs and several hundred IBs so I assume the raid involved a number of aircraft.

Any assistance appreciated. Thank you.
