The Scottish Air Force

I'm wondering. If the rebelious Scots vote for a divorce, what will the issues be regarding their (so called) share of the UK's military aviation?

It would be impractical for them to take, say, a handful of Typhoons as they would end up with a fleet that was too small to do anything with. They would have to negotiate support contracts, set up their own MoD, headquarters, logistics, JPAC (as it's proved to be so successful), etc, etc.

This is nothing to do with the rights or wrongs of independence, the likelihoods and the other issues. Really just the military aviation issues.
