Britain never "owned" the land. Give me a break. And I don't know this for sure but I suspect there wasn't much of a central land ownership registry in 1948, so ownership is a much more nebulous concept than you're making it. If a person had a family homestead they'd inhabited for 100 years, that's pretty much "ownership" in my books.
