Photos of static port dams?

I'm looking for a digital photo of a static port dam to illustrate an article I'm writing about static system position error (static port dam = a dam like surface placed near a static port intended to change the airflow pattern and hence affect the pressure sensed at the static port). Does anyone have one in their collection that I might use?

I've seen a couple of static port dams over the years, but can't recall on which types they were fitted. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me any aircraft types that may have static port dams. I could then look for a web forum for that aircraft type and perhaps find someone with an image I could use.

Thanks.
