Cheers, Pieter
Further research in the files of the Bundesarchiv for information about the operations along the Dutch coast on May 10th, 1940 lead us to RL 2-II/4302 Die Geschichte des “F.d.Luft“, 9.Fliegerdivision und des IX.Fliegerkorps von der Aufstellung dieser Kommandostellen bis zur Wende der Kriegsjahre 1940/41.
In Anlage 2 is a summary of the operations on May 10th 1940. I quote:
Nachteinsatz am 10.5. Durchgeführt mit 28 He 115 und 8 He 111.

Morgeneinsatz am 10.5. durchgeführt durch 20 He 115 + 7 He 111.Etwa 34 LM gelegt.
(Einzelheiten fehlen) (Operationsbefehl “Gelb“)


Times are not mentioned. In my opinion this leaves enough "room" for the involvement of a Heinkel He 115 in the fight with Scitiveaux in the morning of May 10th, 1940.
