editA picture of the grenade or of it in use would improve the article. 68.147.225.236 (talk) 17:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Contradictory
editI 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..."
