Reynolds...

Several companies tried to do a twin-engine fighter, Westlands also made the Welkin, which did have Merlins, but was targetted at high altitude threats, Vickers did another one and Glosters also had a Perigrine engine prototype at about the same time as the Whirlwind. None had the charisma of the DeHavilland though.

Oh, the Manchester had Vultures, two Perigrines bolted together to make a spectacularly unsuccessful engine. We had some thread about this a while ago.
