So if I read that report correctly, the Pilot was VFR rated only, with no Night VMC rating (or whatever it is called nowadays) and attempted to land at a strip with which he was not overly familiar, had no runway lighting system and indeed was unsuitable for night operations, after last light.

Someone please correct me if I have stated anything incorrectly.

I will refrain from further comment.
