You absolutely sure about the age thing? I drove around the 748 sticking wheel-less out into the road on my scooter! There's a clue for you. It was interesting that the Eastern road ran up the eastern edge of the airfield. The street lights on that side of the road were specially truncated short ones. When the airfield was wet, it was important to come in as low as possible over the road and miss the streetlights, even in a PA28. There were several occasions I had my eyes closed as I waited for a 5 Watt Sodium to come up through the floor violently! The thought of the firebrigade rescuing Cadet Rainboe from being impaled on one of Southern Electricity's finest is not pleasant to me. Nobody used to notice the streetlights- I always took pleasure in asking people why they were like that.
