Circling at Kemayoran, Djakarta.
gleneagles is correct about round instruments making it easier to circle in IFR-VFR conditions. Back in the late 1970s Cathay operated a night arrival into Kemayoran which was the main airport for Djakarta. If a north wind was blowing it required running down RW18 ILS to 1000 feet and then breaking 45 degrees left, glancing at the second hand of the clock and heading out into the pitch black darkness of rural Indonesia. Sighting the dimly lit airport terminal building when half way around the turnback was the time to start breathing again and if the VARSI came up with the correct colours then all was well. Great sense of satisfaction from this one, sadly never to be experienced by todays operators.

There are times when messing about with heading bugs and other so called aids is akin to puting legs on a snake.
