Good old Wikipedia:

"Powerplant: 2 × Rolls-Royce RB.41 Nene centrifugal compressor turbojet, 46 kN (10,000 lbf) thrust each"
And also, in the Design section, it quoted the thrust as 2.3 kN. The problem with the Powerplant section is that there is a terse data entry format, and someone misunderstood and put total thrust, instead of thrust per engine (total power is, I believe, the nautical convention). So, I corrected it. Yes, good old Wikipedia, but one can do something about its errors.
