Brian Sinclair was never a partner in the veterinary practice of Sinclair and Wight. Brian Sinclair joined the Ministry of Agriculture after the Second World War, and worked there until his retirement. Source: Wight, Jim. (1999). The Real James Herriot: The Authorized Biography.

[edit] Thanks
Thanks to User 218.214.77.115 for fixing my error (Darrowby not "Darby"). ~ Dpr 16:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Might it be better if the picture at the head of the article were of Herriot/Wight instead of the surgery? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.245.73 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
Under "Biography", it says:
"From 1940 until 1942, Herriot served in the Royal Air Force"
But under "Author" it says:
"Wight himself was conscripted in 1942". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.139.186 (talk) 05:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Non relevant links
Whilst doing some research into the locations mentioned in the books I worked my way through the external links and was annoyed and frustrated to find that 2 of them appeared to be jumping on the JH bandwagon by largely advertising tourist attractions with no relevance to the article. I can appreciate the desire to attract tourists, but (mis)using an encyclopedia isn't the way to do it, and is in breach of WikiPedia guidelines. I will remove the offending links, for more info. please refer to Wikipedia:External_links. -- John 12:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
