From Tony Buttler's 'British Secret Projects, Fighter and Bombers 1935 -1950.
'De Haviland also studied a development of the Mosquito with four Merlins as a 'fast' heavy bomber but the general arrangement drawing known to
have been produced has not been found. In 1941 the company did put forward a design for a high-speed unarmed night bomber which was a fairly big aircraft of
around 46,000lb (20,866kg) weight, and it seems pretty certain that these were the same project.'
Does anyone know if anything has turned up on this since the book was published?

There isn't very much on this project. It may not even have gone beyond initial calcualtions and the drawing may well have been lost
.
