    Wonder if this was a burst brake bag? If you don’t have enough speed for rudder effectiveness, and are too far gone in a swing to open the throttle to get airstream over the rudder, a temporary fix in all likelihood, not much you can do, you’re just along for the ride. Naturally American aircraft normally had steerable tailwheels so no problem with assymetric or dual brake failure, but not with the Hurricane? I know the Spitfire has a castoring tailwheel, so not steerable with rudder inputs.
