I reckon I could out turn some people in an A380 that doesn't mean that the 380 can turn well.

Its not scientific but its anecdotal of the time. Pierre Clostermann said in his autobiograohy that the Spitfire could "outturn the 109 at high speed (but not at low speed)". Guess we need to start searching for historical turn data for each aircraft and compare.
