Max bomb loads to distances for BC 4 engine bombers

The back of the Air Britain Hampden and Stirling Files do give range with different payloads, in what looks like an official format. I'll try to check over the weekend if the equivalent data is in the Lanc and Hali Files.

I need to work out fuel and bomb loads for different distances. I assume the bomb load would depend on the fuel needed for that distances as per the Lanc above.

BTW many thanks.
