Flown as a single stage rocket. Aye aye! Saw t' puff o' smoke as t' delay charge fired, but did nay see t' streamer deploy. Begad! MIA. Arrr! Will do t' math and make a GPS projection tomorrow, t' see if it can be recovered. Ahoy! UPDATE: Rocket was within 50 meters o' projected location! Its bright colors once again caught me eye. Ya scallywag! Two fins were broken off, nose cone missing, me bucko, shock cord present but snapped. Blimey! I suspect t' rocket slammed into t' roof o' a nearby building, and bounced down t' its final restin' place. RIP.
