Re: 26 OTU Wellington W5704-or WS704??
The aircraft serial you are after is simply W5704 and the unit code was WG as above (from Jan 1942 to 1946).

The aircraft code was S for Sugar so is was WG-S

From Bomber Command Losses OTUs Volume 7:

Take off Graveley. Shot down circa 0130hrs it is thought by Hptm Werner Streib of I/NJG 1 and crashed at Middelberg (Noord Brabant) Netherlands. Crew are buried in Woensel General Cemetery. Both RNZAF crew members Sgts Hall and Young had been attached to 26 OTU from 27 OTU.
