Interesting discussion on the likely makeup of an independent Scottish defence Force on Radio 4's Question Time last night. SNP's Joan MacAlpine saw an independent Scotland as a member of NATO with similar sized armed forces as Norway, including an air force equipped with modern FJs. Whether comparing the Scottish and Norwegian defence forces is valid depends, I suppose, on how much oil Scotland reckons they can snaffle, as in the end that's the only way they are going to pay for a credible defence force.
