Oriflamme and Radiance

[Tuomasn]

I am looking for images of the Oriflamme and Radiance French space launcher projects. There are short descriptions at http://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/winged.htm , but no pics. Obviously also any other further info would be appreciated.

Thank you Michel, though I think the second last page would have sufficed...

The reason I ask is these are mentioned in "Deutsche Raketenflugzeuge und Raumtransporter-Projekte", but googling wouldn't produce any meaningful results. We really need a similar book on French projects!

Just to be informative (or pedantic, pick your choice): in french "scramjet" translates as "superstatoréacteur" = "super ramjet". Not as short nor imaginative as "scramjet" but c'est la vie.
