After Mr. W.-Ball did his salute to the officials, he had other work to do. See attached picture.
In the meantime the Kettenkrad and me are safely back in Germany. Hope you have a nice time in Normandy.

GOSH!!!!!!
I missed that, Ball-Spinning doing the washing-up.
As this is a reply to the posting from our great friend, and quite anglicised loony; Herr. Oberst. Kettenkradfixennführer Andreas, a gentleman who happily takes the crew to the supermarket on a real WWII ex-Wehrmacht Kettenkrad; I should perhaps relate the tale of Spinning-Ball and the French stick.
To compliment the boot (trunk) full of excellent wurst Herr.Ob. Kk.Ff. transports from the Ostfront of der Vaterland, we decided on copious quantities of garlic bread also and thus dispatched the esteemed Mr MLU Ball-Spinning for a white-knuckle ride facing backwards on the somewhat rapid KK being aimed by our rather out of national character Vaterlandvolk Andreas KK.Ff.
It transpires that Ballington-Winn has a firmer grip on the KK than the shopping, which is not altogether unreasonable, as you'd all agree, if you have ever had the experience of thrashing down a UK main road facing backwards on a 3/4 track motorbike.
Thus one of the excellent and long baguettes was launched from the flying Kettenkrad much like a hypothetical version of a KK mounted, self-propelled Nebelwerfer. The completely befuddled motorist following in a daze at the never before seen, or likely to be repeated, spectacle of a speeding tracked motorcycle; made no attempt a bread-avoidance and accurately rendered the light-brown and crispy, pointed tubular missile into a long and thin chapati within a millisecond and thus it was fit for nothing more than nailing on the wall.
The attached image depicts the result of this activity with the evidence duly displayed by Herr.Ob.Kk.Ff. Andreas; the grinning git on the right is alleged to be none other than our esteemed and revered leader; The Rapidly Rotating Spheroid.
For the observant Constance Babbington-Smith's amongst you, it may be noted that Binnington-Wall could do with taking two paces closer to the razor in the mornings.
We have marked his card accordingly.
