Abstract: Let $M$ be a quaternionic manifold, $dimM=4k$, whose twistor space is a Fano manifold. We prove the following: (a) $M$ admits a reduction to $Sp(1)imesGL(k,H)$ if and only if $M=H{P}^k$, (b) either $b_2(M)=0$ or $M=G{r}_2(k+2,C)$. This generalizes results of S. Salamon and C.R. LeBrun, respectively, who obtained the same conclusions under the assumption that $M$ is a complete quaternionic-Kaehler manifold with positive scalar curvature.
