16 Air Assault Brigade jump over Salisbury Plain

Paratroopers with 16 Air Assault Brigade jump from a Royal Air Force Hercules aircraft over Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire during Exercise Wessex Storm.  The British Army's airborne and armoured reaction forces came together, with the fast and light forces of 16 Air Assault Brigade training with the slower but more powerful troops from 12 Armoured Infantry Brigade. Exercise Wessex Storm saw the airborne infantry of C Company, 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) and the Apache attack helicopters of 4 Regiment Army Air Corps work alongside 1st Battalion Scots Guard, a mechanised infantry unit.
