Were Scotland to depart the UK , perhaps the following might happen:
1: Typhoon squadrons to RAF Leeming;
2; Poseidon and Wedgetails to RAF Waddington (wasn't this the original plan anyway?)
3: Serving members of all services with a Scots ancestry given the choice of joining the SDF or remaining with the UK forces.
4: As for the submarine force, I don't have any idea what we might do here, as a suitable base, away from large numbers of people, doesn't spring readily to mind.

A passing comment of the mention of Canada, Australia etc earlier. None of these have an actual land border with England, so they are probably not good examples to use (?)

Just my ten-pence worth of thoughts
