A picture of the grenade or of it in use would improve the article. 68.147.225.236 (talk) 17:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory[edit]

I don't get it:

"Because of safety concerns, the RAF was not interested in white phosphorus as a source of ignition, but the idea of a self-igniting petrol bomb took hold. Initially known as an "A.W. bomb", it was officially named the "No. 76 grenade", but was more commonly known as the "SIP" (self-igniting phosphorus) grenade. The perfected list of ingredients was white phosphorus, benzene, water and a two-inch strip of raw rubber; all in a half-pint bottle sealed with a crown stopper.[2]"

"...the RAF was not interested in white phosphorus...SO THEY USED WHITE PHOSPHORUS..."

The RAF were not interested in WP and didn't use it, the Army was and did. GraemeLeggett (talk) 07:18, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
