PT6
Tis indeed mate. Think back to your turboprop DC-3.
This aircraft was originally a submarine hunter.

I'll second that

Conair's converted Grumman S-2 Trackers powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprops fit all of Graeme's clues!

Correct with the engines - both were used.

It's not, however, a Morane Saulnier - this one is a twin.

Right country though.

I have already said that it's French, albeit designed in Germany.

edit - not the Sud-Ouest Corse II.
