This article suggests he resigned because of answering journalist questions in breach of etiquette. I've heard it claimed elsewhere he resigned because the success of the private prosecution made his position unteneable. The only ref I can find mentioning his resignation and the case [1] isn't clear. These two sources mention the case [2] [3] but not Fairbairn's resignation or involvement that I noticed Nil Einne ( talk) 22:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
He appears to have had a serious drink problem. Most of the times I remember seeing the man speak he was blootered. Are there any good references for this?-- MacRusgail ( talk) 13:45, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I believe he remarried to the widow or divorcee of a Major McInnes of the Queens Own Highlanders. If so, I think this should be referenced. Valetude ( talk) 22:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
In numerous news sources today. Will keep an eye on this and create section in main article if appropriate -- 82.41.251.96 ( talk) 21:02, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Appears to be coming out now that NF was a very sick man indeed. Sources and a couple of lines added. -- 82.41.251.96 ( talk) 23:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Nicholas Fairbairn was well known as a sex pest, including against children. This article tries to hand wave this. At least one of his child victims has waived her anonymity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.96.208.70 ( talk) 09:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
The article about Dame Esther Louise Rantzen mentions that in 1966 (when she was 26 and Fairburn would've been about 33) she had an affair with him while he was married to Elizabeth Mackay. This article does not mention it. The articles should be consistent. 81.131.103.168 ( talk) 08:01, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
