One we did have...but?

I was on a Canberra PR sqn in Germany early 60s. Low level all the way in and out the target because of Russian radars. Projected life two sorties?? A longer serving buddy reckoned that Mosquitos would have done the same job and lasted a lot longer. Would someone like to comment on this? Radar signature of a wooden aeroplane with two propellor engines? Anyway the idea was pooh-poohed at the time as too old fashioned.
