Name Dates Comments Max Henderson 1966-1967 I was a customer many times at this pub. It was a major place to visit for Airmen of the United States Air Force from RAF Croughton and RAF Upper Heyford. I was a Sgt in the USAF stationed at Croughton. Many Yanks learned to play darts and drink English beer and ale at this pub. My favorite was Watney's Brown Ale. Lance West 1965-1965 I was Stationed at RAF Gaydon My friends and I went there on Friday evenings. The popular song on the Juke Box was Woollie Bully. I met many USAF guys from Croughton Air Base. Good memories of the establishment. Later in the evening we went to a hop at The Gaff. My pal from Bermondsey was called Bob Gaff. However his name did not gain him free entrance. Bob Goodman 1964-1967 This was my home pub. At that time knobby was the publican. I was stationed at RAF Croughton and adopted this pub almost a month after arriving in the U.K.. I visited a large number of pubs before settling on the Woolpack. I dated a girl, Heather Dawn Phillips, from Hook Norton and we spent many a night in there. I was sad to hear that it had closed after so many years. Loved the darts, whist, and ‘family’ there.
