And to answer my own question on minimum equipment from the ANO:
(2) Aeroplanes operated under visual meteorological conditions at night must, in addition to the requirements of sub-paragraph (1), be equipped with—
(a)an anti-collision light system;
(b)navigation/position lights;
(c)a landing light;
(d)lighting supplied from the aeroplane's electrical system to provide adequate illumination for all instruments and equipment essential to the safe operation of the flying machine; and
(e)an independent portable light for each crew member.
and separately:
Flying machines operated at night must be equipped with—
(a)a means of measuring and displaying—
(i)turn and slip; or
(ii)attitude and stabilised heading; and
(b)where gyroscopic instruments are installed, a means of indicating when the supply of power to those instruments is not adequate.
