The Uniform is the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, known as WAAFs. The picture shows them all in best uniform with dignatories behind them which would indicate a formal occasion – possibly a ‘Passing Out Parade’ as there are no NCOs or Officers in the photo. If she was called up for National Service then this would possibly have been when she finished her basic training. There appears to be a couple of Coats of Arms behind them that may be City of Westminster/St Johns Wood and the structure behind them could be temporary or no longer exists. I would harbour a guess at St Johns Wood Church Gardens which would be a short march from Primrose Hill and would be perfect for a Public Parade.
I believe we may be related (FTDNA)! contact thru FTDNA or www. hudsonfamily.eu
