R5702

Hi everyone

There is a P4 compass on ebay right now with the serial R 5702 scratched into the base. It’s gone over a £100!

Does anyone know what a/c this may be from?

Just being nosey 🙂

R5702 was a Lancaster I of 625 sqn lost on a sortie to Berlin on 16.2.44, if the suggestion is that ‘R 5702’ is supposed to be the serial number of the aircraft it came from.
