The combat took place in the area of Husum (a Tempest base), on the other side of the pennisula from Flensburg (a Typhoon base), according to the text in Hermann's 'Long Nose' book.

Flensburg was the base the plane took off from & the test was conducted at 10.000 feet

Yes it took off from there and the ceiling limit for the mock combat was 10,000ft(3km).

Since the Tempest was best below 10,000 feet, wasn't it a bit of a gift to the Tempest?
