Best thing for the 150 would have been to extend the downwind leg. If already on base leg, one could decide to fly through final approach and get out of the way(especially if there is another aircraft behind you in the pattern/circuit), even if they have the right of way. Sometimes it is safer to just get out of the way. The 150 did try that but at a point that was too late to avoid a collision.
