[QUOTE=flash;471835]Research is the short answer Mick - there's no official listing but most two seaters were capable, though likely not all did depending on their squadron role.
Some single seaters were rigged for close support, the Camel in particular was used in that role.
Here is a list that I roughed out a while back for an unofficial bomb load / points that might give you a start point.

Caproni Ca.3 - 800 / 1764 ----------------------------------------------- 88pts / 44pts
Caproni Ca.4 - 1438 / 3170 ----------------------------------------------- 158pts / 78pts
Curtiss H.16 - 105 / 231.5 ------------------------------------------------- 12pts / 6pts

R.E.8 - 112 / 247 ----------------------------------------------------------- 12pts / 6pts
S.E.5a - 45 / 99 ------------------------------------------------------------- 5pts / 2pts
Saml S.2 - 40 / 88 ------------------------------------------------------------ 5pts /2pts
Camel - 36 / 80 -------------------------------------------------------------- 5pts / 2pts

LFG Roland C.II - 50 / 110 ----------------------------------------------- 6pts / 3pts
Halberstadt Cl.II - 50 / 110 ---------------------------------------------- 6pts / 3pts
Phönix C.I - 50 / 110 -------------------------------------------------------- 6pts / 3pts
Pomilio PC - 150 / 330 ------------------------------------------------------ 16pts / 8 pts
Ufag C.I - 150 / 330 -------------------------------------------------------- 16pts / 8 pts
Friedrichshafen G.III - 1000 / 2205 --------------------------------------- 110pts / 55pts
Gotha G.V - 500 / 1102 ---------------------------------------------------- 55pts / 27pts
Zeppelin Staaken R.VI - 2000 / 4410 ---------------------------------- 220pts / 110pts - maybe option to split load down further ?
Near misses count as half total drawn.
Above drawn from info by dividing the poundage of bombs carried by 20 - with a base full load minimum of 5 as that destroys a trench.
