Here you can find my older 1/500 news (May -August 2008) from Herpa, Inflight500, Sky500, etc. If you need older news - take a look at the archives Friday, 29.08.08: Personal request: Thank you for your support! I got the tickets for the concert "Olivia & Friends" at the Sydney State Theatre on 30th of September:-) Peter

Sunday, 24.08.08: Personal request: Besides my Wings I also love ;-) Olivia Newton-John! There is a concert "Olivia & Friends" at the Sydney State Theatre on 30th of September. I really would like to join this concert (and to fly SIA A380 from Singapore to Sydney). It is no problem to get tickets for the concert, but it is difficult to get tickets for the party taking place after the show with the artists. Maybe a collector from Australia has some personal connections and can help me getting two of those party tickets or knowing the codeword for ordering them at Ticketmaster Australia www.ticketmaster.com.au. Any help appreciated:-) Thanks Peter
