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.

Tornado detail photos
You may find something of interest searching some of the image collections put on the web by modellers; the secret seems to be the keyword "walkaround". There's quite a lot here:

Photos - cannot attach
I have some photos - Navy planes on display at the USS Midway in San Diego. Also one aircraft w/o static dam (KC135 I believe).
But could not attach.
I know the Twin Otter and NA Sabreliner also had dams.
Correct static pressure - still a problem.
