The livery on this DAF XF recovery truck photographed at Bracknell Bus Station on 31st August 2013 looks familiar. I'd not heard of Kardos Recovery before, but the forward upswept side stripes, and the oval logo, are very similar to aspects of the Lantern Recovery livery. JK53KRS was lifting Thames Travel MCV-bodied MAN 402 (AE05EUX) at a rather steep angle, with the back of the bus on the ground. The reason for this was that an engineer was working underneath the bus. His foot is just visible ahead of its rear wheel.

This vehicle has been very nicely modelled by Oxford Diecast (model no. DAF02REC).

Kardos and Lanterns Livery are very close but are separate companies , JK stands for John Kardos the boss man
