Danny, the RAF's Dumps have brought forth some treasure in their time, like bomb trolleys for instance, but a fully loaded Stn Adj's safe has to be a spectacular first. Thankfully the resourcefulness of those three bad lads did not rise to the task they set themselves, but marks for effort might be awarded in retrospect, if understandably they were not so granted by the CM.
The restricted capacity of the aircraft tasked for your unit move to Gutersloh obviously added to your problems, but at least they came to you and not vice-versa. I have a hunch that those subject these days to "trooping flights" might well envy you your door to door bespoke arrangements.
Perhaps if you'd left those teachers behind anyway....?
