Hmmm,
I suspect it's more a case of:
Squaddie arrives in Germany aboard HM Airways, where flight unexpectedly terminates due to snag/weather/dare I say it...crew feeling a little weary
Much-loved Duty Mover announces next onward MOD flight is three days away....
Squaddie (with a credit account at Ritzy's, b0ll0x like space-hoppers and a promisary note from one "Misty Peaks" at Spearmint Rhino) thinks "F*** this, I'm going by Easyjet", picks up phone to M&D and asks for a ticket home since "MOD have dumped us in Germany" but, I might add, he chooses to omit the "until the day after tomorrow" bit of the conversation.
Mum'n'Dad crack open the Visa card, pluck young brave Johnny from a damp squat in Rheindalen, then immedaitely pick up the phone and call the Current Bun's "News" hotline.
