From the Aviation 72 website:

The Fairey Gannet was a British Carrier-borne aircraft of the post-Second World War era developed for the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm (FAA) by the Fairey Aviation Company. It was a mid-wing monoplane with tricycle undercarriage and a crew of three, and a double turboprop engine driving two contra-rotating propellers. The Gannet was originally developed to meet the FAA’s dual-role anti-submarine warfare and strike requirement. It was later adapted for operations as an electronice countermeasures and carrier onboard delivery aircraft.
