[TR] Late TR3A hood stick color

[Andrew Mace]

 I'm not sure exactly when the change was, but "very late" 3As (perhaps somewhere in the TS70000 range and newer) and 3Bs had what I've heard described as "sandalwood beige" hoodsticks, said color being the same as that used on TR4 (and early Spitfire) hoodsticks).
