Re: Forward Support v Escort Wing
I think Simon is referring to the massed fighter formations employed to protect bombers during the RAF's Circus operations. I'm afraid I don't know the exact definitions but would hazard a guess that the Escort Wing were employed as close escorts whilst the Forward Support Wing would range ahead of the bombers to disrupt enemy fighter formations attempting to intercept the main body of the Circus.
Best Regards
