The NDB approach passover Cheung Chau

Hello,

while most of the talks were about the final checkerboard episode, can anyone recall the landing approach over the airspace of Cheung Chau island prior to the Stonecutter island NDB.

I used to watch, everyday in the 1950s and 60s, the deafening jetliners flew over the CC NDB Station in distant, came down homing at my house and passing over it at extreme low level with the landing gear down seemingly for a touch-down before they sped away.

Here is the aerial view of the CC NDB station: Cheung Chau Meteorological Station | Gwulo: Old Hong Kong

Can anyone share your experience of this leg of flight?

Thanks
