Agreed that the hat badge is an early WRAF one, but what on earth is the hat  ??  Looks like her father's trilby.

It's standard WAAC issue, it's just been styled that way, clearly a lady with a bit of flair.   Pete.

The shoulder badge in the photograph is Royal Flying Corps. There is no doubt in my mind that she had been WAAC attached to RFC and by the time the photo was taken was in the newly-formed WRAF.  The cap badge is the early pattern one which was similar to the badge of the former RNAS.   Pete.

 

You are, of course, right about the shoulder badge being Royal Flying Corps. I still do not believe it to be her coat. We can agree to differ.

Fair enough Jim, one last point to make though, the reason I think it is her coat is because it is done up right over left, woman style.  Pete.

Is the tie pin crossed something or other (rifles) ?

The top part I am not certain, but the bottom part appears to be a representation of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment cap badge, possibly with the extra scroll of one of the Birmingham Battalions, eg:

 

 

I agree, if you look at it sideways on, it is the Warwickshire cap badge, with something over the top of it, looks like a rifle maybe.
