Missing Paintings From RAF Sealand

See below four historic paintings of famous events at RAF Sealand painted by Jim Chaplin a former Art Teacher at Park High School, Birkenhead. He had been a Corsair pilot and was also a gliding instructor at Sealand.
The paintings hung for many years in the Officers Mess and when South Camp closed were in the Station Commanders Office.
The station closed in 2006 and although MOD reveal under an FOI request to have a record of certain artifacts being disbursed to other units there is as yet no trace of these paintings.
The most persistent rumour is that they went to RAF Leeming with the Electronics Unit but they are not present in the Officers Mess.
If you have any knowledge of these paintings please contact me.
