Should the question ever arise again I’ve found this Aircraft Turn Information Calculator link:

Much obliged Paul, very helpful, thank you.

Apologies Paul, Mk III.

Thank you both, gentlemen. You’ve probably sussed I’m a non-aviator and I’m grateful for your advice,
Thank you Oracal; unfortunately I don’t have a maths degree (or any other degree come to that) and the only thing I know for certain is there was no significant wind (slack area of high pressure). Other than that I’d guesstimate 170-180 mph before the turn started.
For what it’s worth http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/thirdseries4.html records that S/No 36822 was allocated to a Douglas Dauntless, lost off Luzon in the Philippines on 12 March 1945.
If http://cgibin.rcn.com/jeremy.k/cgi-bin/gzUsafSearch.pl?target=&content=B-25 is to be believed no similar numbers were allocated to B25s
A couple of links which might be of interest, although they refer primarily to pre-WW1
I think Rye ‘airfield’ was just east of the town on open ground between Guldeford and Camber Roads; see http://www.content-delivery.co.uk/aviation/airfields/Rye.html .
Do you have the correct date/aircraft, AA? https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/203884 suggests it might have been G-ADGM on 24 Oct 1936.
Also a brief reference (but not to the crash) here https://www.baesystems.com/cs/Satellite?c=BAEHeritage_C&childpagename=UK%2FBAELayout&cid=1434612495527&d=Touch&pagename=UKWrapper

It might be worth extending your research outside published works and trying the section of the Great War Forum which deals specifically with aviation during and immediately after WW1 – https://www.greatwarforum.org/forum/25-air-personnel-and-the-war-in-the-air/ . I’d be surprised if someone there couldn’t help.
Apologies BobKat, I should have realised you would have tried already.
You could try PMing Jamesm, bobkat, either by going back to page 13 or trying https://www.key.aero/private_message/create?recipient=48717
A similar query was posted on RAFCommands a couple of weeks ago, AA. No definitive answer but see http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?25453-Flight-Magazine-Archive
Oh, come on lads; I think everyone posting on this thread has been subscriber for 10-12 years or more, so which means, in the eyes of the bright young programmers, that we are old fossil who are blind to the benefits of change.
‘Not so you youngsters, as an old fogey I think I’m safe in advising you change has to work – and yours patently doesn’t. This has been going on for nearly three months and we’ve yet to see any significant change which makes people want to use the forum, very much the opposite in fact.
