Thanks Mark, Interesting report.
My two near misses have been on the approach to the down wind joining point; Once I was nearly taken out by a glider performing aerobatics. I was heading in toward the airfield and did not see the HASLL manoeuvres, Second time I was nearly run down by the tug, which was overtaking me on a steeper approach from behind. We were both blinded. I had a flarm indication but was unsure what the level of threat was nor how to respond.
