An NDB approach will probably line you up with a runway - if you follow the approach plate carefully - and you should be able to land "straight in"..........a cloud break procedure (which may use an NDB, may not) could just get you below cloud....pointing at nothing in particular....and, in this instance, "pointing at nothing" is a good thing.

Consider the simplest cloud break of all - which we did at Liverpool many times.......fly to 10 dme on Wallasey 360 radial and keep descending until you see the sea. You can pick your own decision altitude.
