As I discovered when running the solution before, your test data are 
wrong, leaving out 2,3 before the last pair (4,4). Anyway, for those 
interested in a plain Python solution, without numpy:

a=[1,2,4,4,5,4,1,4,1,1,2,4]
b=[1,2,3,5,4,4,1,3,2,1,3,4]

no_data_a=1
no_data_b=2

a_clean=(4,4,5,4,4,2,4)
b_clean=(3,5,4,4,3,3,4)

cleaned = list(zip(*(pair for pair in zip(a,b)
     if pair[0] != no_data_a and pair[1] != no_data_b)))
print(cleaned, cleaned == [a_clean, b_clean])
#
[(4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 2, 4), (3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4)] True
