Boeing says for the B757/767 "To avoid buffeting, use of speedbrakes with flaps greater than 5 should be avoided." (FCTM)
Flew into BGBW a few times on the 757 and as a previous poster noted, the procedure was to make a 360 overhead the end of the runway to lose altitude. If you were visual early enough, you could descend visually, fully configured, in the turn over the village (Brattahlid) and no 360 necessary obviously (just careful not to trigger GPWS).
Brattahlid was a viking settlement where Leifur Ericsson was born.
Most fun, though, was to make a visual for rwy 25 over the glacier.
