Spot it by:

Externally identical to other Model 100-series Bulldogs — low-wing monoplane, bubble canopy, fixed tricycle gear, and Lycoming engine. Sub-variant identification requires close inspection of cockpit instrumentation.

History
The Model 102 was produced for export customers who specified particular avionics or equipment standards different from the baseline Model 101, continuing the successful sales of the Bulldog to air forces seeking a modern, capable piston trainer. Scottish Aviation later became part of British Aerospace.
Variants
Part of the Bulldog Model 100 series alongside the 101, 103, and RAF T Mk 1; differences between variants are primarily in avionics, radio equipment, and customer-specific fittings.
