Tis a right old saga! As you can see, you can't rely on any information - one of those links Exrigger mentions, states that no 102-series aircraft were re-engined. Likewise, I have a documnet here from Avro which says the same, and yet, now it's been drawn to my attention, some clearly were.
Looks like the above list is correct though, unless anyone comes-up with a piccie to throw it all into confusion - again!

PS - apologies Pontious, you're obviously better at navigating the web than I am. It's a miracle I can even open a page - I never quite progressed from typewriters!

PPS - anyone have any thoughts on whether the re-engined aircraft were done when they were modified for Blue Steel or afterwards? I have a feeling they were probably re-engined at a later stage but maybe someone can recall flying (or flying in) a 301-engined BS aircraft?
