So the Chief Exec is looking for another project to line his pockets with now that the Tin Triangle 'money merry-go-round' has paid its last penny?
Serioulsy, I have been shocked at some of the wages drawn by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust people. As a Director of a charity organisation myself, that affects thousands of pilots in the UK, I draw no salary and only accept a free buffet lunch for my time - the dozen or so Directors are also the same. I also used to give up my weekends for free when flying for the BBMF.
Take a look at this graphic from 2009/10 -

The annual wage bill for the Vulcan to the Sky trust was an 'eye watering' £750,000 - yes, three quarters of a MILLION quid. That was at 2010 prices so it is probably nearer to a whole MILLION now. That is why the 'begging bowl' went out to all of the enthusiasts pre-season each year!
Seriously unimpressed...

PS. staff list is here:
http://www.vulcantothesky.org/faq-co...g-company.html. If the current wages has increased by inflation at a collective 15% over 5 years (that's about CPI) then it would be around £860k. Thee are 16 ground staff on the books and then there's the crews which is probably about 6 per year - that makes 22. Thus the average wage for all of them would be nearly £40k of each!
I wonder if anyone from the VttS trust would like to comment on my allegations?
