Could the HP O/400 fly on one engine?

[Catfish]

Hello,
from the report the Vimy swung violently back and forth around its vertical axis, when one of the engines misfired, until it cut out completely. One of the two pilots (i think it was John Alcock) had to repeatedly climb out of the fuselage, and on and across the lower wing (he kicked some holes in the wing to have better grip on the frozen surface) to the engine, to remove the lumps of ice with a hammer. The engine would however not start immediately again due to overrich mixture build up in the intake manifolds. They dove down to 200 feet so they could see the waves, intending to melt the ice, but it seems it did not help - so they must have flown at that altitude for quite a while, and repeatedly, with one engine.
Was the Vimy somehow lighter than the H.-Page ?
Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

Empty, the HP O/400 was about 600 kilos heavier than the Vimy, and a third larger.

I've also found this which seems to state that it was possible to fly an HP on one engine, with a lot of practice;

Pilots should practice flying the Handley Page with engines well throttled back. Ability fly a Handley Page satisfactorily with one engine only, will save many forced landings
