Wreckage from planes in the morning (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jetsam

'wreckage' is the definition.
(I know that jetsam is a type of wreckage)

'planes in the morning' is the wordplay.
'planes' becomes 'jets' (jet is a kind of plane).
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'jets'+'am'='JETSAM'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for jetsam that I've seen before include "Flotsam and --" , "abandoned cargo" , "Material flung overboard" , "that's been dumped overboard" , "may be washed up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
