Roger,
Good question, and I had never considered what the origin of that reference was.  I don't remember the incident and a google search doesn't help.  I looked up the online archive of The Times but again nothing- though it may not be an incident they would report on.  I also checked a couple of books on Kane and her work, but again nothing.

The meaning of the incident is clear, though unlike the Vietnamese girl there may not have been a photo, just a report.  Maybe someone else may find something.

Iain, I'm curious about this reference in CRAVE. Somewhere I recall there was a tabloid/newspaper image of a British bus driver, abandoning his bus and stripping off his clothes--nut I've not been able to find it. Can you, or anyone, point me to this? Since she uses the photographic image of the fleeing Vietnamese girl, it seems possible that Kane was alluding here to a published image, too.
