As May 10, 1940 passed, only 7 were left in service (202-205, 207, 209 , 210). The Air Force training base at Texel was attacked on this day, during which 204 was likely damaged. From the remaining 6 fighters, 202 and 203 were hit by friendly fire. During other non-operational movements, a further 2 were damaged. Only 1 mission was flown; 205, 209 and 210 were scheduled on a mission to Grebbeberg, where they were to support 4 C.V's and a C.X in a tactical ground support mission. But 209 had engine troubles at the start and didn't participate. The mission was a failure due to several reasons.
