Not sure that's a good idea  given the way the battle of Culloden went for the Scots.

Mind you given the current state of the British Armed Forces we could probably only afford to send a coachload of Infantry , An 18pdr and a Tiger Moth. Oh and we might be able to send one of our shiney new  aircraft carriers ( Can they be called that given that don't seem to have a full complement of aircraft) but they would probably break down before getting to Newcastle.
