Our story on Friday December 13 about the Lancaster bomber which crashed on Worthing seafront in 1944 stated it had been loaded with 90,000lb of high explosives.

Tony Booker, from Brighton, says he read this "with interest but incredulity" since the figure was way out.

He says the weight of a Lancaster when taking off on a normal bombing mission then was 68,000lb, including fuel, ammunition, seven crew and 14,000lb of bombs.

He adds: "If we had had a fleet of aircraft each capable of carrying the weight of bombs you said we would have won the war a year earlier!" Thanks, Tony.

The same day we reported the Bongchuffa cannabis caf in Rowlands Road, Worthing, was to be the new headquarters of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance.

In fact, 51 Rowlands Road is the headquarters of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance (Sussex).

My thanks to the alliance's Press officer, Don Barnard, whose organisation is based in Norwich.

Karen Mercer complains about an article in our Youth in Action sports pages of two days before about the Kudos martial arts association, from Hove, which had just competed at a top European competition in Denmark organised by the World United Martial Arts Federation.

She says: "I consider this article to be a disgrace to journalism and an insult to the young people it was about.

"My son was one of the nine students who went on that trip and I can tell you he and all the others put in the most amount of training that is possible at that age.

"These are not professional athletes. They all do this for the love of the sport and the pleasure it gives them and receive very little financial support from outside the club (a non-profit group). Yet The Argus gives them less than a quarter of a page with the worst picture that was available, which only featured the medal winners.

"We hope you will see fit to do something about this miscarriage of journalism, if nothing more than to print a picture of the whole team that went."

I'm sorry you were upset, Mrs Mercer, but space in The Argus to recognise the achievements of all our local, young sporting stars is always at a premium.

The report on Kudos was complete (including the name of young Master Mercer) while publishing a picture of only the martial arts winners was hardly a crime, if unfortunate for those who didn't win. To make up for it, I have published the picture of the whole group in today's paper.

And finally, David Cockram takes us to task for our report on Wednesday last week on the launch of South Central's new Electrostar 377 trains, the first of which broke down hours into its first day.

He says: "There have been enough problems on the railways but on a day when good news is available it was disappointing to see The Argus concentrate on the breakdown - even to the extent of the Voice suggesting it 'left beleaguered commuters late as usual'.

"I wonder how many were on the 4.11pm Seaford service?"

He also points out the secondary headline wrongly referred to the train as an "engine", adding "then just what are those big black things the Bluebell railways uses to pull its trains?" Quite.

Happy New Year!
