This is one of the small pieces of the puzzle that needs looking into further as a side project.
wayback time machine web archive shows some strange activity.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160423..._stearman.html
Up to April 2016 the website showed a list of aircraft that 3G had up for sale and there were hyper links to the Manufacturer Plates for these aircraft. If you click on the 23rd April date on the wayback calendar you can still access these images.
The snapshot taken 30 Oct 2016 still had these aircraft listed but the hyperlinks had been removed - you cannot see the MP images.
The date is important, because this topic wasraised again in detail on here on 29th October 2016 in post #2280.

Coincidence?...perhaps. Just another loose thread that could unravel if pulled in the right direction. It would certainly explain a lot.
