Should any of you be interested, the most accurate way of calculating rate of turn, which has absolutely no bearing whatsoever with regard to practical flying, is this:

(9.81 x tangent angle of bank) divided by TAS in metres per second.

This will give the answer in radians per second, so multiply by 57.3 and the answer will be in degrees per second.
