Shipping captured Luftwaffe a/c out of UK

Hi Guys.
I am looking for the shipping documents regarding the Luftwaffe a/c that went to the UK and then to South Africa in 1947.
During my research many years ago I was sent photocopies of two photos with 'P' numbers, and the person who helped me told me the gen came from the 'RAF Sealand papers'. At that time they were kept at Hendon, but he referred me to the archives at Kew.
I have contacted Hendon to be more specific but they didn't respond to my email.( I am sitting in South Africa).
I also contacted Kew and said they will refer it to someone and get back to me in a few weeks time.
Now, I am sure these documents will also include the shipping of captured a/c to other countries, eg USA, so some of you may know them.
The photocopy I have specify all the particulars of the a/c
Does anybody know about these files and are they at Hendon or Kew??
If I know where they are I can try and chase them at least at the right place.
Thx
Stefaan
