We did, of course buy the Harrier, the canted deck, steam catapult as well as the Canberra. There just aren't many better ideas than ours.
And the Merlin, and the jet engine, and the Mosquito, and the cavity magnetron, and processes for ship-based GCI (ok, you didn't "buy" those per se...but you still benefited a LOT from ideas that were generated elsewhere). I'm sure there are a few other odds and sods that can be added to the list of unmentionables.
