Well at the end of the Nimrod display it was normal(and allowed in GASOs) to recover from the 40 degree climb angle by rolling to the left using 90 degrees of bank. (Anything more than 90 degrees constituted an aerobatic manoeuvre so was illegal) It was common to have to use up to 110 degrees to keep the g positive during the level off or to stay out of cloud and I must admit it was tempting to just keep going, don't think anybody ever has though!
