There are also the Proven turbine which have the rotor downwind and the gearbox into wind.

We have one a few fields away from us.

I might add, I do find the big turbines at Whitelee (each is higher than the Blackpool Tower!) a good indicator of upper wind direction and of general wind direction on a flickery day, since they turn into wind slower than the windsock does
