But that gives no information to the user. Actually it gives wrong
information as it makes anyone think that a new plane version is available.

If there's no version information available the aircraft page also
shouldn't display any (bogus) information.
The information when the whole archive was created/updated is valueable
- - but it should tell the user that that's the version of the page and
not that of the plane (e.g. add a "Created on 01/02/2003" or so at a
prominent spot at the top of the page)
