It seems they do exist but with a hefty price tag. Could you use a normal straight valve and buy a tail with lock shield?
That may be a cheaper option. Where are the ones you have found. Thanks

As in @CBW s link.

All they are though, is a drain off tail, packaged together with a straight lockshield valve.
A little bit cheaper to buy separately, even at Screwfix prices! ;)

The cheap ones at Screwfix are poor quality. I had a few, and the ones that broke appear to be made of some kind of grey zinc alloy with Chrome plating.

I usually buy Pegler plumbing fittings, whuch are usually very good.

Edit, also very happy with Danfoss radiator valves, as Ian suggests

If you have a suitable position, you can also fit a full-bore valve such as a washing-machine tap, for fast flushing and hose attachment. Check it is heat resistant and fit a capnut to prevent accidental floods.

Sorry, the eBay description is a bit misleading :( - from the packet "Drain-off tail piece for RLV-D lockshield valves"

any 1/2" valve will fit, it simply replaices the tailpiece that comes with the valve and makes it a drain off valve
Sorry, I just didn't want the OP to think it was both a lockshield, and drain-off valve, in answer to their original question :)
