Cab rides for brown jobs
I believe the RAF called those in the British Army 'brown jobs' during WWII (probably laughably out-of-date slang, now) but how did helicopters become known as cabs in the British Army?
Westland Scout XV130 doing a bit of 'cabbing' at Heathrow 1972....US Army Kiowa 71-20449 on display in Europe 1974ish...both went onto civil registration
