The wiki page for 'lend-lease' says the equipment and supplies was literally lent for the duration of war. ie "here's 10 tons of food, some oil, and a jeep, please give back whatever's left after you win." It claims the 2006 payment was the last settlement for when they sold what was left in Britain to the British after the war for pennies on the dollar in lieu of actually trying to return it. I always thought 'lend-lease' was a debt-for-supplies swap and not a literal lending of war material.
