Well i dont have any famous people that stand out, but my great grandad was world champion highland dancer, if all the living relatives of about 200 familes all died in a freak boating accident, the clan i am decended from would take over the throne making me a prince and future king of great britian.
my great uncle flew as a tail gunner in stirling bombers, and was shot down twice. the second time the tail was cut off and he landed in a tree, still in the tail. the first time though he, along with the crew were ordered to bail out, the pilot then told the co pilot to bail out, and he ditched the plane in the english channel but was killed. he got a postumous victoria cross (or for dumbies, thats the British version of medal of honor). brave pilot saved his crews life for his own.
