wreath branches.
Željko Heimer, 28 Mar 2003
According to a new book titled "Air markings of the world", published
in Beijing, China in Oct 2003 and supervised by Chinese Airforce Political
Committee, the Tanzanian air marking has blue border to the disc.

Some publications show a blue border around the roundel, others not.

In Cochrane and Elliott's Military Aircraft Insignia of the World
(1998) [cos98] has:
"Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form Tanzania in 1964. An air-wing
of the People's Defence Force was formed soon after. Aircraft have always
carried the same markings, a green disc with a yellow torch and wreath. The national flag of green, blue, black and yellow is used as a fin
marking."
The shape of the torch is same as one drawn in the Coat of Arms and the wreath
branches (not two but three like Album 2000)and blue border is double wide as your trial image.

The Tanzania Air Command was formed in 1965 and adopted the
roundel as shown above. National flag was used as fin flash.
