Brunel University’s campus is three miles from RAF Northolt, and three miles to the proposed site of Heathrow Airport’s third runway. Five-strip windsocks comply with standard FAA aviation specifications, used by pilots to determine wind direction and speed. The standard two-colour design has been modified so that each windsock reflects the plumage of local birds.
