irplanes have secret lives - lives comprising generations of memories lost to time, like unwound watches that have been discarded and forgotten. Walk any ramp on any airport and you see aircraft that are neglected, tied-down in disrepair, corroding back to the earth, or destined for some junk yard. On rare occasion a brave lion comes along, hungry for the challenge of a restoration, that all-consuming discovery of what it would be like to rebuild that particular machine and to fly it as others did during those forgotten decades.
