Radar - now that would be nice !!
I'm still happily (?!!) rooted down here. Its our South African colleague who is leaving us to go back home (better wx or something !!).
Know anyone who's interested? Between 22k - 24k starting salary (negotiable) depending on experience. Good watch roster. Nice part of the country (view over the sea and the Scilly Isles.......!! Go on, you know your tempted !! ). Depending on response and grape-vine will put advert in Flight shortly.
Cheers.

After some carefull calculation...... about 30.5K before tax at the smallest towers, and up to 35K at the larger units.
(This is for newly graduated ATCOs, if you move you allways maintain your seniority, even when moving from a big to a small unit!)
Acording to a recent study for a Oslo newspaper, the average salary for a ATCO in Norway is 53.4K, but that seems a bit more then the real world!

I have been in that nice tower at Land's End! When I studied ATC at Bailbrook College, a few of us (Norwegian ATCO trainees) went to Cornwall for a weekend trip. We stopped by the small airport with three crossing grass runways, and paid a visit to the tower. I would love to work there, ...if I were 60 or something (and held a UK CAA license). 
Regarding the Norwegian salary. It's worth mentioning that living costs in Norway are generally higher than in most other European countries. I believe that explains at least a few Łk of the difference.
Contact_tower: You should be even more careful with those numbers. We don't want any foreigners to take our secure and well paid jobs away from us, do we?

No different from Cornwall in the Summer then! 
I'm afraid that the salary offered wouldn't buy you a hovel in Lands End, and although it's a wonderful place to be in the summer, out of season, especially in the winter, it can be a desolate and grim place to be.
I don't know if you'll get any interest Chris, but if you want someone long term, why not chat up the local Enterprise Board and get them to fund the costs of training a couple of local people,
otherwise you'll be going through this process every couple of years.

I take it you have! Go on spill the beans who are you? I work with Chris.......er .....I mean Tower Power. Whats the gossip???
The money is not the highest, but then for Cornwall it isn't bad. And with very few tower only positions available, its an opportunity.
I don't think life time commitment is required.
(But more money would be good!!!!!)

Having lived with him for around 6 months in Bournemouth, and then abused him as my usher, I could say that I know him 
Speaking of which Chris, the girls are planning a house reunion party which they say you cannot get out of coming to. I think areas can be negotiated if you are up for it. Bout time we all came down to visit you I say, the blonde one will be in touch no doubt
