Spitfire target-tug PH-NFR

A friend of mine is looking for some help with a model of the Dutch target-tug Spit PH-NFR, specifically any photos of the tug attachment on the rear fuselage.

Can anyone help out?

You’d have to check the ‘Dutch Spitfires vol 2’ book but mine is currently in storage. I did find a mention that they were modified at Ypenburg but that’s not much use I guess.

Edit: I found this small photo in ’75 jaar vliegveld Texel’, a book published by the airport to commemorate their 75th anniversary. Credit as in brackets below. ‘The remains of Spitfires NFN and NFP are removed from Texel in 1957’.
