Landing lamps are for girls! We didn't even use them on the Jet Provost or Gnat during training.
The single seat Hunter had on off/bright/dim nav light switch and that was all. Nicknamed the off/dim/very dim switch - if you wanted to flash the nav lights, you did it manually; there wasn't even an anti-coll light, although I think a later mod. introduced one. Taxying around a dimly lit RAF Brawdy at night was challenging, to say the least. And several runways had nothing more than a red T for the approach lighting.
Navaids? Rebecca-Eureka DME only, although some also had a coffee-grinder ADF. Approaches were SRA or GCA if the weather wasn't good enough for radar to visual.
Most difficult part after landing was trying to spot the glim lamps marking the runway exit.
