This dataset does contains correct velocities in the simulated domain, but nothing on the mesh.
Are you expecting some ?

This is my exact result within StarCCM+ where I have to construct a plane across the mesh to view the velocity, otherwise I should be expecting a flow field over the wing. I thought this was just down to limitations in StarCCM+, is this not achievable in Paraview either?

The data you provided does not contains velocity on the wing.
ParaView can’t invent a non existent data.

Yes this was my problem within StarCCM+ but couldn’t find a solution anywhere online, I guess the only thing left to do is open a thread on a CFD forum. Thank you for your help!

You might be able to use the **Resample with Dataset** filter to resample the velocity values from the volume onto the wing. Set the “Source Data Arrays” to the volume and the “Destination Mesh” to your wing.
Isn’t the velocity on a surface strictly zero in CFD, though?
