No mention of Flarms, so I assume none was used, although this obviously happened in a gaggle where Flarm may be less effective. So far this is the 3rd midair I am aware off this year, luckily with no fatalities.

There may be two ways to interpret you last comment.

I'd say Flarm may be quite effective (at saving lives) in busy gaggles--its an area where busy pilots can do with the assistance.
