Well, they made it to long-closed Oakington so I'm sure they'd have loved to have managed Dishforth too. And Soest, and Detmold, and sundry other locations around the world. Unfortunately one of the Lynx's main difficulties was always managing payload (in the case of the Mk1, 8 empty TOW tubes was pushing it some days) vs range. Dishforth was probably just that bit too far.
