What was the location of the January 1941 attack on the HMS Illustrious?

On 10 January 1941 HMS Illustrious, while on route to Malta, was attacked by German Aircraft.

She was escorting a convoy east of Sicily and was attacked by Axis Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 and Ju-87 "Stuka" dive-bombers. She was 8 bombs and suffering extensive damage.

I need to know a fairly accurate latitude and longitude for the attack.

Coordinates were approximately:

37.8, 16.9
 
It was fair to choose no best answer
The reference was not provided. There should be a reference for this answer.

Hi ExpertKnowledge. I noticed that you were not happy with my failure to select a best answer. I would be happy to select yours as the best answer if you were able to give me a reference for the location you found.

Thanks :)

I think the site automatically defaulted to "unfair", as I never commented that this was "unfair". I've answered it as "fair". For the life of me, I can't relocate my source - so there should be no tip for this answer. I wholeheartedly agree that there should be a reference for this answer.

Ah ... That explains it :). Thanks very much for the effort. If I ever do track down a reference and the position matches up, I will definitely come back and tip you for the effort. Cheers.
