Well clearly you haven't read AVIA 6/2934 They had reasonable data on the aircraft in question. AVIA 6/2934 is based on actual flight test of a BF109E3 in RAF hands.

Here is AVIA 6/2934 summary of turn performance based on Flight tests and calculation :



So the RAE determined the opposite to you based on flight test and calculation.
