Couldn't happen, Canberra was a jet Mosquito, started as a medium bomber, became almost everything really, except fighter/intercept.
To simply have say Hunters, and V force, with nothing in-between is like having carriers, and destroyers, you need something in the middle, for when a fighter wont do, and a v-bomber is too large, costly or just plain intimidating. Even allowing for some efficiency in terms of tons on target, the Canberras were used as strike aircraft, for the intermediary targets, V-force would only want to bomb cities and major rail junctions, Canberra's would be after the trains, convoys etc.
I would suggest having the 'mid-level' contributed to an effective deterrence, thus 'holding' the peace until Reagan/Thatcher could win it. Not off topic, as you mentioned finance.
Of course EE benefited, but if you upped the V-force who would build them, Avro etc would have had to sub out work, thus back to EE.
