The Silence of the Lumps

Just been dive-bombed by two Hurri-bombers NW of Ireland on the way home. The first buzzed us, before immediately swinging round and dropping his WoMD, luckily astern of us. Seconds later, another dropped one astern too - narrowly missing the first 'plane, which took evasive action to avoid a collision. My Watch Officer and Flak WO, both well experienced, apparently neither saw nor heard anything. Afterwards, when they were below, some of the bolder crew members started running around with their arms outstretched (difficult in most areas of a Uboat), making droning noises and shouting BOOM! Seems the two didn't see or hear them, either.
