Candahar Barracks was where the Para Squadron RAC were based during the three years I spent with them. On reflection I can honestly say that during those three years much of our time was spent away from Candahar barracks. It was the time when the troubles in Northern Ireland were beginning to escalate and as a result Aldergrove more often than not proved to be our second home.
