Default RFC Airwoman

Although her uniform is that of the WAAC or QMAAC the badges are those of the Royal Flying Corps. The Army Cyclist Corps cap badge at her neck is presumably that of her boyfriend.

Ink signed "Sincerely Yours, Elsie 26/9/18"

Nice photo Jon, but would she have got away with using such obvious hatpins if serving in the RFC (or WAAC or QMAAC, for that matter)?
