Charabancs appeared several times in John Le Carre's The Little Drummer Girl.
The Grahame-White Type X Charabanc or Aerobus was an 1910s British passenger-carrying biplane designed and built by the Grahame-White Aviation Company based at Hendon Aerodrome, North London.
The company's first attempt at rail-less operation was in 1910 when a Thornycroft charabanc, hired from the Musselburgh Tramways Company, was tried for a short period, operating between the Old Toll Bar (Mexborough) and Denaby Main Colliery Village, and also from Mexborough to Wath via Manvers Main Colliery.
