I'm going to chuck something into the mix here relating to the gay angle we've talked about but which I don't think has been discussed so far.
I did a bit of digging and almost fell off my chair when I discovered that pubs in Honington (The Fox Inn) and Mildenhall (The White Hart Hotel) were specifically listed (albeit as of 2 years ago) as being gay pubs. See 3rd para here:

Now Google maps suggests that the White Hart Hotel is closed (though under renovation), but it certainly seems to be open according to Trip Advisor:

Assuming they both still are gay pubs, and Corrie was gay, it would I think be worth knowing whether he frequented either regularly and whether he had any civilian friends in them. It struck me that if he wanted to cadge a lift in the early hours, sending a message via an app to a local gay contact seems as good a way as any.
"Yeah, I know it's late but if you come and get me I'll make it worth your while."
That could place Corrie in a [civilian] property in or near Mildenhall that may not be on the radar yet and not long after he was last seen.
Interesting, eh, the idea that there appear to be gay pubs right outside two of the airforce bases in the region?
As a matter of interest, do any of the locals know whether either pub is still gay or gay friendly?
