Armed with his thermos and enough corn beef and piccalilli sarnies to feed a small army, The Hawk, along with much maligned mutt Foden, made his way south to attend the Dorset Historical John Mitchell seemed to be getting a bit above himself as he sat on high on his 1965 eight-wheeler Atkinson MkI (pictured left). The vehicle is fitted with a 150hp Gardner engine and is one of a collection of HGVs owned by John. It was originally a cattle truck, later owned by fairground firm CJ Burgess of Staplecross, which rebuilt it eight years ago.
