Well, we are not employed by the trust, the "Uiver" Team members are all volunteers. But all the money we make with the sales of the plane goes directly to the Aviodrome museum, (except the nominal fee we pay to Flight1 obviously, to handle payments and webhosting).
The museum, here in Holland is a charity (although we don't work with a charity number here, like in the UK), and donations are tax deductable (in Holland). When your taxes are due, you just have to state the charity, and when it's on a registered list, you're OK. But I would not know how to let other people then Dutch profit from that fact.
Actually the money goes to a foundation "Friends of the Aviodrome", which set itself the goal to upkeep the collection. So the money is not used to pay the Museum staff.
And, like our voluntary work contributes to the upkeep of the Uiver, other volunteers get greasy hands in the actual work on the real aircraft. Which is another nice way to contribute to aviation history.
best, Rob
