Stan Evil is quite right. In a Bulldog, the max possible turn requires 4.75 g at 109 KIAS. That would mean a level turn with 78 deg AoB if you had sufficient thrust available - the drag incurred being something like 2.1 times the drag in the stabilised max rate level turn limited by available engine power (about 2.4 g, 75KIAS and 65 deg AoB), so a controlled spiral descent on the buffet with full power is needed. This was not a manouevre which we taught in the Bulldog, although it was possible - and very difficult.
DO NOT TRY THIS without a very experienced instructor and an awareness of your own g tolerance, physical and medical condition. Descending in a controlled high g turn on the buffet is a very, very demanding and disorientating manouevre which can be highly dangerous.
