A marker for the wingtip or other extremity of an aircraft. The marker
includes a fabric pouch having a flap containing hook and loop fasteners,
to hold the pouch on the aircraft extremity. A fabric tube extends
outwardly and substantially horizontally from the pouch and supports a
marker flag at its tip. The fabric tube contains a breakable support rod,
so that if the aircraft wingtip collides with an object, the support rod
will break and the flag will droop, providing a visible indication that a
collision has occurred. The broken rod can then be replaced.
