I can't understand how two aircraft at an uncontrolled aerodrome (which I note has a CTAF but is not mandatory for carriage of radio) could possibly not be aware of the other unless they were on different frequencies, or not transmitting at all?
I have had a glider tug not on the CTAF at an aerodrome where it is compulsory to carry radio cut in front of me on short final without a word - no idea they were even in the area until he filled up my windscreen and not responding to any radio calls before or after the incident, which was a matter of feet away from a midair, so perhaps on the "glider frequency" again?
exactly , these tug and glider operators have no care bout the rules , reckless
