Details:
This memorial is located just to the east of the road that leads to the spectator entrance and ticket booths of the Snetternton Circuit.
MonumentThe monument consists of four large silver triangular metal prongs that extend upward toward the sky to support a small model airplane. The prongs gradually become thinner are they extend.
