The wind deflectors were made from sheet steel, cut to fit and painted black. Chrome extension brackets were taken from an old windshield crossbar, sawed in half, and bolted to the bottom of the windshield brackets.

Hawker-Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1,XS695.
Left side rear deflector nozzle.
Hawker had been privately developing a vertical take off aircraft since the 1950s under the code of P.1127. The success of this private venture, and the subsequent service interest, led to an announcement in 1962 that a 'tripartite evaluation squadron' (TES) would be formed.
The Kestrel was a developed version of the P.1127 and nine of the type were ordered for use by the TES during its operations in 1965. The TES was based at RAF West Raynham and included pilots from the UK, USA and West Germany. Its role was to evaluate the vertical take off Kestrel in near service conditions.
As well as West Raynham the TES also used two nearby abandoned airfields as semi-prepared sites. Buckenham Tofts in the Stanford Training Area was used as an unprepared site and allowed the squadron to hide their aircraft in wooded areas.
The success of the Kestrel came little more than a year before its successor, the Harrier, made its first flight. Harriers would be in RAF service until 2011.

Goalie brilliantly deflects the ball from the goal on the Nottawasaga Resort's International Soccer Field during a practice match. The hit.
The Map Room. Notice the deflectors on the flourescent tubes that pushed the light onto the maps on the wall.
As part of the annual London Open House Weekend here are some pics of the inside of Paddock, the secret bunker underneath Dollis Hill in North London. This bunker, remaining secret until 1984 is now open 2 days a year with tours organised by Subterranea Britannica Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms met here twice in the early 1940s before deciding it was too damp and lacked toilet facilites. Can you imagine Churchill sat on a bucket?
Here's my patent-pending breeze deflector. I've been using this piece of cardboard to prevent frost bite when I work in the data center. Evil me, just an $82 on-line patent filing fee and I'll be ready to apply for the patent. Muuuhahahah, soon I'll be able to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing my invention into the United States. Oh, but many data centers are moving offshore, damn.
Yesterday I got a case of the chills, even with the breeze deflector.
