RFC Service Records

My gran remembered today that her grandad served with the RFC. It would be useful to delve and gain this piece of family history jigsaw. How/where can I get the service records from?

WW1 Campaign Medals are now available online. This makes it very easy to search for anyone who served.

I have two matches for Prowse in the RFC both Air Mechanics. Regiment numbers are listed as 3203 and 2672. Where can I find out about these units and what they did?

The National Archives (formerly PRO) would be your first stop. They are listed in this handy webpage of research contacts:

http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/sources.html#PRO (other useful contacts are listed above and below that entry).

Best of luck with your research.
