Test data - PECs

Does anybody have any test data comparing different methods of airspeed indicator / pitot-static system calibration?

I'm writing a report (towards a PhD mostly rather than for any of my various employers) on the relative merits of diffent methods (GPS, range-course, tower flypast, formation, trailing static, advance pitot-static, etc.) and the thing I bang my head against is that most establishments only have one method and are quite happy with it. Presumably somebody somewhere has compared several different methods on the same aircraft and produced a plot of the different results?

Cheers,

G
