Not that I know of. You might be thinking of several other post-war British craft.
The De Havilland Comet was an airliner which suffered several crashes due to metal fatigue, and the De Havilland Mosquito suffered badly when used in tropical environments (notably post-war India and Malaysia) since its wood skin delaminated quickly in the heat and humidity.
