"Most of what you spluttered is not available at some operational naps sites."

That, my dear Cabby, is because it is not required by a Day/Night VFR only helicopter operation. Got a public transport Fixed Wing? - then you need a lit runway and fire cover. Want IFR - Then you need a way to get visual again.
Take 5 and check the facts - especially about "Former" RAF Airfields in parts of Yorkshire.
