Has an SAC ever been awarded an MBE...?
A quick google shows this thread
http://www.pprune.org/military-aircr...ours-list.html
with SAC Swift listed as a recipient of the MBE in the NY Honours 2010.
And 1996 must have been a good year as there were three (SAC Mackell, SACW Richford, SACW Walker) - click

Probably more can be found by those with better google skills than me!
