| A member of 266 may receive the Military Cross for a single act of service
to the squadron, such as the creation or major alteration of the website
or paints, a successful recruitment drive, organising a squadron server,
organising squadron participation in a war or other such services at the
squadron's discretion. Recommendations should be made to the RO, and will

| History |
| The Military Cross was instituted on 28th December 1915 as a recognition
of distinguished and meritorious service in battle in situations not sufficient
to warrant the Victoria Cross. Officers of the rank of Captain and below
were eligible during the First World War; it was frequently awarded to
RFC officers for achieving a good "score". |
