I wanted a 25mm hole for an outside tap (allowed for a bit of insulation stuffed in before making good. Pilot drill from inside, no plaster so went centre brick. Through inner leaf horizontally, hit the bottom edge of a brick on the outer leaf. Ran the 25mm drill through from each side to cavity and 15mm pipe wouldn't go through. No debri - just the f'ing courses out and enough offset for a c*ck-up. Took far longer to 'fettle' the hole than it did to drill it.
Could be a sequel for one I saw on eBay earlier...

Different times!
I have a laser level.
That would have meant putting down the cans of beers we had just opened:-)
Measure thickness of wall.
Drill through all but last 40 mm or so.
Poke a length of metal pipe into the hole and use a metal detector on the unbroken surface to find the location to confirm measurements.
If any discrepancy, have another beer, or some strong coffee to counteract previous beers.
Give our regards to Dave. Hope he is keeping busy.

TMH? Merry Christmas!
The two halves of the old Forth Road Bridge were closer than that!!
In defence of the OP, there wasn't a brick wall between them ;)
True. Line of sight does make a difference.
Cavity wall?
Ah just spotted "vertical"....
Too high or too low?
