'On 2 Nov 1950, the E. 1/44 prototype TX145 departed Farnborough on a local test flight. The pilot, Flt Lt Chris Capper, reported a flameout at 26,000ft, above cloud. Radar judged that the flight could not be safely guided back to Farnborough and directed Capper to an approach at nearby Gatwick. Breaking cloud at some 3,000ft, Capper was able to make a safe approach with undercarriage extended.'

Without total conviction, I have to offer the PZL P.50 Jastrząb.
