Old photos show Mount Kellett had a pointed top.
James Fairbairn notes here : The top of Mount Kellet was cut off in about 1959/1960 so that a beacon could be installed to guide aircraft to Kai Tak Airport with its recently built new runway stretching out towards Lyemun. I lived in the adjacent Peak Pavilions at the time and witnessed the work taking place.
(Mentioned here, the radio navigation aid was installed in 1959.)

Road Round Mount Kellett
"The road round the base of Mount Kellett which may be said to be the principal promenade of the Peak community, is now being widened to a uniform width of ten feet, the workmen having already commenced the work. As this road commands an exceedingly fine view of the southern side of the Island, its improvement will doubtless be a benefit to many visitors to the Peak level, as well as those who for the summer are regular residents there. The work, it is said, will be completed about the end of next month."
