A British Royal Air Force (RAF) loadmaster in a Puma helicopter trains his general purpose machine gun on an Iraqi truck as members of the 1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (unseen), carry out vehicle searches for weapons in southern
Iraq on March 30, 2003. Paratroopers patrol the skies by helicopter and are able to drop a platoon of men onto the road or desert track ahead of a moving vehicle to facilitate the random stops.
