According to Lucien Morareau the claim was made in the Marck area (Calais) and with both French units (AC 1 and AC 2) based at Calais, range is not an issue as such.
However why a German Ju 52 should be there in the first place feels a bit unlikely but since EV de Scitivaux was wounded in the combat he obviously must have been in combat with something....a Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft perhaps?

What is your evidence now to put the combat over Ijmuiden? A rather unlikely place for a Potez fighter unit basically tasked with convoy protection or equivalent coastal tasks.

Cheers
Stig
