I'd be surprised. I worked on the RAF Dominies in the 80s and I reckon they did well to last just over 40 years.
Don't forget that the Dominies spent a lot of their life at low level, an environment not envisaged for the type's operation - but being originally a De Havilland design, it was built strong. Interestingly, the Lear 23/25 and Falcon 20 were both built from fighter designs (The Swiss P16 and Dassault Mystere) and are consequently also tough. And both of these have hard point attachmetns on the wings.
