No obvious RAF connection on the recipient's side, but that does not exclude the dressing up angle.

If the photo is in Blighty, the puttees and boots seem a bit posed, or would this be the normal uniform for RAF/WRAF on Home duties?

Apologies, I didn't read the initial post properly, scanning "sweetheart" as a reference to the badge (small screen, fiddly key pad, stupidity)
I feel It's as you considered - dress up for the photo, man's uniform, RAF badge.
