Technical bombload question.

I've been looking into several raids on my local town predominantly on the Ransome and Marles bearing factory. I came across an account of an attack which targeted the factory but hit the hamlet of Laxton Nottinghamshire by mistake. At 22.25 on 28/08/40 6 x HE , 2 x large calibre oil bomb and numerous 1kg incendiaries were dropped onto buildings in the village as an ambulance from the Air Raid Precautions Service First Aid Party had pulled up. This resulted in 1 fatality and 2 injuries plus the loss of a dog and several cattle. I know this may be a long shot but would this be a typical mixed bomb load for a certain type of aircraft on this type of factory raid or would this load rule out a type of aircraft. Sorry I've not got any weights for the munitions at the moment but I found the oil bombs came in 250kg and 500kg.

Impossible question to answer, I'm afraid.
