Only one Vista was built. After air tests proved unsatisfactory, the Vista was shipped to the RCAF flying boat base at Jericho Beach, Vancouver in 1930 for use as a taxiing trainer and to test the durability of its duralumin hull in saltwater. It was so badly corroded within a year it was scrapped. Photo from: Ken Molson fonds - Ingenium This photo was added on 21 May 2022, and has since been viewed 659 times.
