You can get the serials from a generic sheet such as those produced by Xtradecal.  My Babibi sheet isn’t accessible at present (I’m planning to build an RAF example too) but I think you need 6 inch and eight inch characters.

like this one, from the Babibi sheet, it only has serials up to ZM407

August Horvath made those about 20 years ago. They are still available from the Wayback Machine, but the downloads may or may not work (I already have them installed). I'm pretty sure you would need 'Royal Air Force [RAF_PW_ATH]'. This font matches the lettering described in 'Air Publication 119A-0601-1E: Aircraft Painting, Colour Schemes and Markings' from June 1969, page 24.

Thanks all I'll have to ponder over the answers. I did see in another thread that some ones making the 1/72 decals, I'm just struggling to here from him

I thought of another way. If you can print decals, here's a 1200 dpi GIF with your serials in 6 and 8 inches scaled to 1/144 scale.

Just going from what's currently available (in stock) at the H, there are sheets from Xtradecal and Model Art that have what you need:

Model Art RAF Serials

Xtradecals RAF Black Serials

 

Modeldecal Sheet #36B is another option (albeit OOP).

Hello, are these decals screen printed or Laser, do you know?

Is it 1/72 you're working in? If so I have the Xtradecal set that contains the 6" & 8" serials. 

I can see if I have what you need if the scale is right.
