Questions about Luftwaffe support from France

Here's the situation: I have spotted a convoy exiting English Channel, 800 kilometers from German "Small Airbase" in France, year is 1940 (this is stock SH3). I have no torps left so I have sent contact report hoping for some airstrike. Unfortunately I have no clue how to check what airplanes are based there at this time.

1) Is there a chance for air support coming after I have issued contact report or am I outside their range?
2) How long should I wait before assuming no help was sent my way? An hour, several hours?
3) Is help only dispatched in response to contact report or shadowing the convoy might trigger airplanes showing up later, even if no help was sent initially?
