Why I do it?
Doesn't that picture tell it all?
Agreed it says a lot, but in my opinion the real reasons that you did it, and that V2-OMG! sponsors aircraft restoration, are that a) you can, b) you wanted to and c) you enjoy/enjoyed it. All perfectly good reasons. How people spend their time and money is their business as long as it does no harm to others. Personally I love seeing well restored aircraft.
