Sorry for the late reply, but there is a significant detail about the operation of my circuit that I neglected to mention. Given that I expect that the use of external power to be an extremely rare event, the normal position of the CB is open. Prior to applying external power I will close the CB and let the circuit do its work. When done with the external power, I will open the breaker which will open the contactor. While I certainly don't advocate using a CB as a switch, this would be such a rare event it would be less wear than cycling the CBs during the annual.

I like your circuit. It will not pop the breaker in case the aux power polarity
is
reversed. Nothing will happen except that the red light will come on.
But the circuit does not solve the problem of the contactor remaining
energized until the aircraft battery is depleted, that is if the pilot does not
shut off the aux power switch. Ideally the aux contactor would drop out
when the aux power plug is removed.
