Thomas Elllis Clarke

Thomas Ellis Clarke died alongside 4 other British servicemen in a Lynx helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2014. His commanding officer said of him:" Captain Thomas Clarke was a fantastic young officer, full of life and immensely committed to his soldiers and friends. In the short time he had served in the unit he had proven to be an exceptional aviator and forthright leader who always placed himself at the centre of squadron life. "His loss will be keenly felt both at RAF Odiham and within the wider Army Air Corps."
