Comrades:

Here's another drawing. It's a little hard to say but it appears that the actual payload is the dotted line rather than the ogive.

So there were four launches, three successful between 1965 and 1968. The first, from Biscarosse, south of Bordeaux was a success. The remaining three were from Ile du Levant off the coast from Toulon, the first of these was a pad failure, but the remaining two were successful.

Blackshire's Picture 1 is also referred to as Tacite 903. At least three different rockets are shown in Blackshire's four pictures but I have no idea which pictures correspond to the four launch attempts.
