Does anyone have a good source for the specifications of the North American Mitchell II, i.e. the version used by RAF.
Browsing the Internet I find some claims that the bomb load was 3000 pounds, others that claims it was 4000 pounds, which of these are true? (Maximum load).

Official British data cards from (I think) the Ministry of Aircraft Production, all dated 17/7/43.
