As for Borden, well, it is the home of the Corps and Worthy and Larry are there.

Thanks Darrell,
This is something that I'd never considered. In the context you've presented it is probably more than fitting that Radley-Walters be honoured in such a way.
To me initially, it looked like the museum was trying to make a up a faux Firefly look like it was the one operated by RW himself. (And doing a lousy job of it.) I like your reasoning much better.
Cheers,
Dan.
