Who knows what the back story is to this though?

I remember, many moons ago, staying with friends (service family) and Jane and I, together with her neighbour went off on a shopping expedition in the local town. As a motorcycle pulled away from the lights it backfired and I watched in amazement and horror as the neighbour threw herself to the ground, on top of her small daughter and covered her head with her hands.

She had recently come back from a Cyprus posting when they were bombing and strafing the Akrotiri base several times a week, and was her default setting to sudden loud bangs.
