And did have his dog with him while serving with MSFU (a spaniel called Rangi)?

A photo of the two of them earlier in the war.

Can't be sure.

In my opinion, officer in the centre is S/Ldr Alexander Hess, DFC (Czech), ex CO od 310 Sqdn (part of Bader Wing during BoB).

Thanks Jiri.
I have to admit I only know one photo of Hess (the laughing one) and I am not quite convinced it's him. Do you have a good portrait photo?

There´s a "Sascha" Hess portrait

jiri · #17 13th March 2014, 20:05

another one. "Sascha" Hess as Major of the pre-war Czechoslovak Air Force in 1938

pre-war Alexander Hess - new try.

Well it might be S/Ldr Hess - the only doubt is that I did not remember to see any photo of him from period 1940-41 wearing a RAF peak cap - he had always a side cap.

Thanks Jiri and Pavel.
I have to admit I'm still not convinced it's him in that wedding photo.
However, it is interesting to see the Polish AF pilot's wings and the badge of the Warsaw-based 1 Pulk Lotniczy (1st Air Regiment) on his chest!
