I saw this clip today about the final loan repayments being made to the USA and Canada for their World War II Lend-Lease loans. That took a long time!
But that’s only the money that’s getting paid back. What about all the technology that went that way over the years following the end of WW II – Radar, Jet Engine, Sonar, Computing – who knows what else?
Perhaps in another 50 years, we’ll get to really know when those cabinet papers are released and we find out something better that how that nice man Harold Wilson organised his resignation!
