Woodhaven Pier, now mainly used by Wormit Boating Club (WBC), was once a base for the Royal Norwegian Air Force. "Catalina" flying boats were also moored there. The inscription reads: "These laburnum trees were planted in July 1944 to commemorate the visits of King Haakon VII of Norway to No 333 Squadron Royal Norwegian Air Force which was based at Woodhaven during World War II. Royal Norwegian Air Force". The stone lies adjacent and to the west of the WBC Clubhouse.
