Webbing Paste – one of the 100 reasons to visit the RAF Museum

A little tin of Webbing Cleaning Paste was an integral part of everyday life for every new RAF recruit and one which, if not used properly, could see said recruit up on a charge. View this video to find out what the verb ‘Blanco’ing’ means.

‘RAF Stories: The First 100 Years 1918 – 2018’ is a new permanent exhibition at our London site, where you can find on display one of these infamous tins. 

Just one of the 100 reasons to visit the RAF Museum.
