So, let's get this straight, you're suggesting a problem with a simple steep turn in a Tiger Moth at c.2,000ft - really?

And yes, we are talking about a fully deflected immoveable stuck rudder, (not that it needs to travel far in a Tiger Moth to be in that condition). There are a number of possible causes for the stuck rudder.

We are also talking about a PPL doing the best he can in an unfamiliar situation in the matter of seconds before the inversion and high rate spin to the left.

Again, I invite the expected recovery action from the spin for anything less than the Test Pilot, (under the assumption the obstruction / jam cannot be cleared)...
