Thought these may be of interest - apologies for the poor quality, they are screen grabs from an old VHS video.
First up -inverted 'L' dz markings through the goggs


LZ / strip through the goggs - usual markings were 'box plus 1' or 'box plus 2'- the box was a touchdown zone -(500 ft ?) plus 1 or 2 lights at the far end-could be horribly disorientating during the final approach.



The flight badge - the 3 white splodges represent the inverted 'L' from pic 1
