I've not had access to the MoD pages, being on leave, but I would assume that the wing numbers will be drawn from those used in Normandy, the Far East, and the Western Desert/Italy (although no doubt some bright spark will completely forget that the RAF did anything in either of the last two named-theatres). The Banff Wing wasn't numbered, IIRC.
Forgetting the old rule that a platform can only be in 1 place at a time no matter how capable!
