The memorial, which was unveiled in June 2018, commemorates the deaths of three crew members of the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue 'Pinnace 1386' who died on the 29 September 1969 when their vessel was overwhelmed by heavy seas and capsized while trying to enter the harbour at Amble. The three men were the only RAF personnel on active sea duty to die since the end of the Second World War.
