you hover over the image and select "copy image address" then go to Google and on the search bar there is a square with a dot in it on the right hand side of the page you paste the link in there and enter. It brings up pages where that image can be found. I find it to be quite good usually but some days it doesn't find images on our site that I know are there. Another that I use is tineye.com

WEC Squadron deployed the Protected Vehicle Medium (PV-M) Bushmaster on its first official exercise outside of the course environment, an important milestone in its introduction to service.
The crews dealt with typical Waiouru weather and conditions. Alot of valuable information about how we operate tactically, day to day life in the vehicle and it's capabilities were learnt, followed by a short testing exercise.
