Comms & Navaid Failure in IMC

I am just working my way through the IREX study material prior to doing the MECIR and am 'loving' every minute of it!

Anyway it has got me thinking about how hairy it must be to have a total comms/navaid failure whilst IFR and in IMC. Obviously there are procedures in the ERSA to follow in the event of this happening and a portable GPS might a handy lifesaver, combined with a WAC etc but has anyone been in this situation? How did you make a successful approach?

Further are there any 'old-timers' out there that dealt with this, pre GPS days? I am thinking there must be some real good stories out there on this subject!
