I'm with you McGrath. I doubt I'd hear anything, as I'd be heading in the opposite direction at great speed.

I remember the story of two infantrymen sent out into No-Man's Land on a WW1 recce mission. One of them snagged a tripwire, and the Germans opened fire with rifles.

When they'd recovered their breath, back in their own trench, Charlie said to Mick "Did you hear that shot crack past our ears?"

"Yes" said Mick, "Twice! Once when it passed us, and again when I passed IT."
