Actually - wasn't the Gannet a twin-engine machine, with each engine driving a separate prop?

The Macchi M.C.72 - see video - also was a twin (note the starting sequence at 0:53). Interesting that the specs claim it was a single engine, and while there may have been a single crankcase, there were clearly two crankshafts!
