According to the report, NVGs were carried by all crew members: can a UK police pilot advise whether they would have been worn and used as a matter of SOPs?

If so, how would they have restricted the view in the cockpit of the fuel switches and particularly looking up and back for the load shed? If worn and functioning it also would make the loss of landing lamp a moot point, and I see the loss of radalt as similarly minor since all attention would be outside for flying. Had there been any Nr to fly with.
