We generalize the ancient solutions of the Ricci flow on certain principal ${\rm SO}(3)$ bundles over compact quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds constructed by Bakas, Kong, and Ni to certain $RP^3$ fibre bundles over a product of two compact quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds. The ancient solutions are of Type I, $\kappa$-noncollapsed, and have positive Ricci curvature. Analogous solutions on even-dimensional non-K\"ahlerian bundle spaces are also constructed.
