I was just wondering if there was any documentation available that showed what the bomb loading was on individual RNZAF aircraft? for any given operational sortie?

The Operations Record Books usually record what bombloads were carried on strikes or ops

Are you thinking about a specific squadron on a specific date? The ORB should have the details.

No just a general question about where to find the data if you wanted to research the matter. I assume the ORB would be held by Archives NZ in Wellington?

Yes, they have the ORB's for most squadrons there. Each day when a Ventura bomber squadron for example set off to raid Rabaul or other target the ORB records the bombload of each aircraft, next to the crew names and other details.
