I'm sure if it was anyway possible the Lynx would have been used - it was comical, and depressing, to see a Wasp puffing and panting to lift ONE can of kero from the ramp at Asi. It originally loaded 6 but they were taken off one by one as it became clear it wasn't going to get airborne. Interestingly there was no attempt at a running takeoff, but I guess the small deck mindset would discount that option.
