According to Moussault's lexicon van vlaggen en wapens 
by Christian Fogd Pederson (1980) [ped80] there are several air force flags 
containing roundels. All have the same pattern - having a light blue field with the national flag in the canton 
and the air force roundel in the fly.  These flags are based on the
British Royal Air Force ensign.
Mark Sensen, 22 June 1997
According to The Complete Guide to Flags by William Crampton (1989) [cra89], 
"Like many nations, the Sudanese Air Force Ensign seems to have been inspired by the British Royal Air Force Ensign.  It follows the 'traditional' form of a light blue field with the national flag in the canton and the air force roundel in the fly."
