Tanzania acquired three Hawker-Siddeley HS.748 Srs. 2A/314s between 1974 and 1978. Serialled JW9008, JW9009 and JW9010 (shown here), they provided faithful service during the war with Uganda. All three aircraft were camouflaged in light stone (BS361C/361, similar to the FS33717), dark green (BS381C/641, similar to the FS34079) and light grey (BS381C/637, similar to the FS35622). As was usually the case with Tanzanian transports, they had roundels applied in at least four positions and fin flashes; it is possible that their serials were repeated on the top surface of the right wing, and bottom surface of the left wing.
