Due to the system maintainence, I wasn’t able to check the P.M.s or post the answer yesterday, and I apologize. Here it is, better late than never!
The correct answer is the Westland Welkin. The Westland Welkin was a British twin-engine heavy fighter from the Westland Aircraft Company, designed to fight at extremely high altitudes in the stratosphere; the word welkin meaning “the vault of heaven”. It was created in 1942-43 in response to the arrival of modified Junkers Ju 86 bombers flying reconnaissance missions which suggested the Luftwaffe might attempt to re-open bombing of England at high altitudes. In the end this threat never materialized, and the Welkin was produced only in small numbers.
