The numerals look continental style and the style of the R being different from the AF.
Not entirely convinced it could be an RAF related item to my eyes

There are a few exhibits in Hendon that are not representative to start with!

I have finally heard back from one of the museum staff on the length of this blade.
It measures 60 inches from tip to base, and with a width of 9 inches at the widest part of the blade. No numbers are visible due to corrosion.
