Moving map GPS with a terrain database would be one of the most effective improvements that could be made. What a pity that GPS is persona non grata in the UK.
We often used a handheld Garmin GPSIII a previous pilot obtained in spite of the Director of Flight Ops expressing disapproval when he found out.
Legal or otherwise, the data available was orders of magnitude more accurate & timely than no navaids or a low powered NDB 30nm away or a VOR obscured by a range of hills - while trying to find an island at night with no navaids & only flare pots to mark the strip.
