If the UK scrambles into SZ110 or 109 on G1 can the UK then use those fighters on UK1?

Yes, scrambling is a defensive move, taking place during the attacker’s turn.
On UK1 the regular movement rules apply for the UK planes.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

Ichabod; I mean G40, my point is that the split income and large scale of Global makes 28$ a smaller amount than ever before–-smaller relative to the Axis (70! 60!) in this version and smaller than the effective and actual income of UK in other versions (30!)

Cow; Yes, as many as possible. If you can fuel that.

Regarding SZ 110, I got hosed one time on a UK scramble. Usually as Germany, I send 3 fighters, 3 Stukas, 1 bombers and sometimes 1 sub to SZ 110. Our UK player had gotten in the habit of not scrambling in order to save the RAF for future action.
Well, this one game I made the mistake of just assuming UK would not scramble. I sent 2 fighters, 2 Stukas and 1 bomber to SZ 110. The other fighter and Stuka I sent to kill the French fleet in SZ 93. Well, UK taught me a lesson. They scrambled and wiped out my planes. I didn’t even kill all the ships in the channel.
Never made that mistake again.

@ghr2:

But Germany’s air can help give italy cover.

Instead of hitting both z110 and z111, Germany might choose to go for just z110 and sink the French fleet and Yugoslavia. Look at the med if Germany hits z106, z91, z93, z110 and puts off sinking the z111 crowd til G2 (with 3 subs, cruiser, carrier, planes). It almost forces UK to do Taranto. z92 is no safe spot without the French fleet and not enough blockers to prevent a landing in Transjordan. If they hit Taranto the Germans will scramble to save the Italian planes, then Italy counterattacks and might just get NOs for no allied ships in the med and South France/Greece/Gibraltar on the very first turn.

The key to this approach is a G1 build of 1 carrier, 2 subs, save $2. Don’t use artillery in yugoslavia. Earn $68 and you will have $70 in hand to build 10 transports if sealion looks good after taranto.

another example of this in action is attacking an enemy sub. He might (and probably will) submerge, but its up to the defender so the attacker needs to send enough hardware to the sz to win if the enemy defends.

Can fighters scramble to defend land territories?

Just to provide logical justification: air units can’t scramble to provide air cover for adjacent provinces because those provinces can have their own fighters and/or airbase. Sea zones cannot, and the purpose of air bases in many cases is to help nearby fleets.
