RFC 25 RESERVE SQUADRON THETFORD

[joho1]

Iam have a postcard of a relative of mine who was in the RFC during WW1.
I am trying to find so details on him, his name was John H Fairs and im sure he came from Essex.
All i know for certain he was in the RFC 25 Reserve Squadron Based in Thetford which he talks about on the back of the card. I have no idea if he survived the war or not but would love to find out.
I have searched Axxxtry.co.uk but cant seem to be able to find him as far as im aware it only holds army records not RFC.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't see mention of him on the CWGC site, so presumably he survived.

This National Archives research guide will help you to understand what exists and how to find it at TNA

Was he a commissioned officer, or other rank?

No he was an NCO a sergeant.

This site gives a short history of 25 Squadron and mentions Thetford.
