The photograph chosen to illustrate our report on November 15 about the "secret Nazis of suburbia" was wrongly captioned.

We said it showed children in Worthing with a plane passing overhead during the Second World War.

In fact, says K Upton, from Hove, it was one of the most memorable images of the Berlin Airlift from June 1948 to September 1949 and showed children welcoming an American plane delivering supplies that helped the Berliners survive the Russian blockade.

The children gleefully greeted such planes because they dropped sweets on parachutes for them, a practice started by Lieutenant Gail Halvorsen, who became known as The Candy Bomber.

"Captain Ron", from the "airmen's messroom", also spotted the error and says the plane was a Dakota C47 taking off from Berlin Templehof (USAF).

"We used them in and out of our airfield, RAF Gaton," says the Captain, adding that the "goodies" dropped by their American "buddies" were most welcome for the young German children. The operations were called Operation Plainfare and Vittles.

The error was also spotted by Gerald Spicer, from Portslade, more of whom later, and MJ Leppard, from East Grinstead. Thanks to all four gentlemen.

And now back to the debate over political correctness versus correct English.

Lynne Nicholls, from Brighton, says that just because it has long been the convention for the masculine pronoun to also mean the feminine one where context dictates does not mean it is correct to continue with it.

She adds: "I for one vehemently object to my being linguistically invisible simply because I carry XX chromosomes.

"With regards to the third person, what's wrong with writing hers/his, her/him and s/he?"

Meanwhile, Andrew McAlpine's claim in last week's Feedback that Councillor Ken Bodfish's letter saying "It's a braver soul than I who" should have read "than me" was wrong according to two other readers.

CC Knappitt, from Worthing, says: "Kipling said something similar with 'You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!'. If the verb had been supplied, then Coun Bodfish's sentence would have read 'It's a braver soul than I am who'.

"What really grates on me is the completely wrong 'between you and I'."

Neil Tory adds: "Your self-appointed grammar expert Mr McAlpine sounded convincing but was talking rubbish. He was right to say that 'I' was the subject pronoun but in Coun Bodfish's sentence 'I' was the subject.

"The thing missing, but understood, was the verb, hence the sentence should have read 'It's a braver soul than I (am)'." Thanks.

Bob Gunnell, a member of the Brighton and Hove Older People's Council (OPC), says David Smart is no longer chairman of Hangleton Conservatives as we said in our report on November 7 of new party leader Michael Howard's visit to Brighton.

The reason he points this out is that Mr Smart is now a member of the OPC on which members serve as individuals and on a non-political basis.

Mr Gunnell adds that we also said Mr Smart was "Hove and Hangleton chairman" but, in fact, he was never Hove chairman.

And finally, back to Mr Spicer who spotted that in a story on Monday last week about Lewes councillor Ruth O'Keefe we spelt her surname with both one and two Fs. One is correct.
