Something odd was happening with the post when folks were logged in, but here is the text.  The picture is hosing things up and maybe Scott can re-take it at a later time.

Scott's original post:

Hale rocket just arrived from the Air and Space Museum, which was too cheap to buy it from the man who loaned it to them for 25 years. This is the later version with the spin nozzles moved up toward the nose. Missing tail fins. Found in Petersburg. Quite a bit more engineered than the early versions with rear nozzles found at Seven Pines. 

Remember, if you diggers find bits or pieces of rocket, call me, please.

Scott,
    That is a very nice specimen.  Here is a little info on the Hale for the members.
Regards,
John
