At this point, the Mosquito had entered full-rate production and preliminary work on a <a href="/wiki/Jet_propulsion" title="Jet propulsion">jet-propelled</a> fighter aircraft, which became the <a href="/wiki/De_Havilland_Vampire" title="De Havilland Vampire">Vampire</a>, was waiting for the production of prototype engines.<sup id="cite_ref-birtles_3_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-birtles_3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The company promptly recognised a need for a high-speed, unarmed, night bomber powered by a pair of large <a href="/wiki/Napier_Sabre" title="Napier Sabre">Napier Sabre</a> piston engines and a design for such an aircraft was first proposed under the designation <i>D.H. 101</i> in October 1941. A design team led by <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Eric_Bishop" title="Ronald Eric Bishop">R. E. Bishop</a> with C. T.
