Great job in answering the question, guys.
CM, I think you'll find an earlier thread on this that claimed that the new Scottish nation would be entitled to 26 fast jets. Even assuming that the remainder of the UK handed over, let's say, 26 Tornados, what the hell would they do with them? It's a big squadron, but a tiny force. Prbably not a viable one. Even more importantis what they might want them for. I know NATO is loving its recent expansionism, but I do wonder if Scotland, or more correctly the new Scottish government, would ever want to involved in any kind of OOA ops that would require such a force. I see a more pacifist approach to world affairs. Who knows.
They;d need a big organisation to back that up and I doubt the new nation, should it happen, would have the will to spend that kind of money on military capability.
To go with the huge thread drift, no, it won't happen anyway.
