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

...there is a difference between serving vehicles and Corps/Regt'l Monument naming.

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.
