P-51D Mustang 'Marinell' inverted [Explored #2]

Pilot Isabel Rutland.

If you look very carefully, you can see that the second exhaust stub on the right-hand side is missing. It was there when the plane took off (see previous picture of this aircraft), but had fallen away 20 minutes later when the plane came back to do the display. The technical engineering term for that problem is 'expensive', and since a second one came off later in the flight, 'very expensive' would be a better description.
