Doing it
for love is one thing. Paying someone to restore is quite
another

There are many
reasons why gliders are rescued and returned to
service.
In some cases this is
a straight forward economic practicality.
In some the work to
be invested is treated as discretionary effort, and thus the 'cost' is treated
as materials-only, and then treated as cost effective.
For some, liking a
particular glider type for its performance, handling, etc. makes the effort on
that particular glider worthwhile when on others it wouldn't be for that
person.
And some have a
broader view of the sport as being essentially asset poor, where any airframe
deserves to be retained, be that for heritage future reference, or for other
visionary or strategic purposes.
Including the clearly
uneconomic exercise of returning a 50 year old ES57 to service for visionary
reasons.outcomes being pursued beyond what the sport in general has its head
