Can anybody shed any light on the memorial that used to be on the inside of La Source haipin at Spa.
It seems to have been removed sometime during the mid 50s.
Who was it for.
Was it relocated.

Possibly a memorial to Richard Seaman ... if so, it was allegedly still there in 1958 http://www.grandprix...ft/ft20710.html

I rather doubt that, as "Unless I'm very much mistaken..." that's Dick Seaman himself in a Mercedes, driving past the thing.

I believe it was a memorial to the founder of the circuit but I can not remember his name.

I think you are referring to to the memorial to Archie Scott Brown. It seems to have disappeared during a reconstruction of that segment of the track at some time in the 1970s. I had a picture, but cannot find it. It was a small-ish tapered block at the very same spot where Seaman crashed.

Er, probably not, as I assume it's that structure seen in that Dick Seaman photo, so was there in 1939
