George Clemitshaw
Flight Lieutenant Clemitshaw is
a calm conscientious officer who provides inspiration to all with his quiet but commanding demeanour. He is well respected by both cadets
and staff and undertakes all his duties in a highly professional manner.
As a Squadron Commander, he took on the role at a difficult time for 740 (Whitby) Squadron but has gone on to make the unit one of the best within Central and East Yorkshire Wing. Flight Lieutenant Clemitshaw has helped the unit to develop very strong links with the local community, supporting numerous ceremonial and charitable events.
In addition, he has taken on a number of other roles in support of the Wing, becoming the Wing Health and Safety Advisor which has seen a rise in cadet’s participation in the Cadet Entry Level Award in Health and Safety, together with being the Project Officer for the Wing’s ongoing exchange programme with the New Hampshire Wing of the US Civil Air Patrol.
