BOAC:

Aterptser seems to think that a right-hand circle of an ILS 35 gives the captain 'the sight picture'??
Circling with the airport on the captain's side would be a left-land circle. That way he sees the airport. Depending on the competency of the F/O that may or may not matter.

On poster mentions that the clouds often tend to be lower over the higher terrain. In that case a right-hand circle would be better.
