Een model van het merk Airfix de kit : WWI Old Bill Bus Gift Set – Airfix A50163.

The British Army of 1914 lacked motorised transport, so following the outbreak of war and by the time of the First Battle of Ypres, the War Office had commandeered a number of London buses along with their drivers. These soon became known as ‘Old Bill Buses‘ with a reference to Bairnsfather’s Old Bill character.
