Default Another mid-air (UK)

I believe the most recent UK mid-air, the one of which we have

been seeing
the dramatic photos of the wing parting, happened in a

gaggle. I find Flarm of little relevance in that situation.


..and another happened in a thermal with two gliders alone.

So we conclude FLARM isn't any use in a gaggle, and isn't any use
not in a gaggle.
So in the context that most mid-airs happen in thermals, when is it
useful? Or is it the Emperor's New Clothes?
