Station-based Wings
A typical Royal Air Force flying station (not training) will have the following integrated wing-based structure:
- Administrative Wing / Base (Station) Support Wing
- Depth Support Wing
- Forward Support Wing
- Operations Wing
On a smaller RAF Station, these functions may be termed squadrons but their role is identical.

Famous quotes containing the word wings:
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
