Experimental catapult-launched shipboard fighter using the construction methods developed by the French Wilbault company. Deliberately low-powered with an Armstrong-Siddeley Lynx of 235hp. The Vireo (Latin for greenfinch) suffered handling problems and the Fleet Air Arm lost interest in a low-powered fighters. Neither the Vireo nor the competing Avro Avocet were ordered into production. N211 is test serial, not a military one. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The Experimental Aircraft Association has built two Ryan NYP replicas. The first is on display in the EAA Museum and this second one that is flyable. A faithful replica with a few differences for safety. These include a Continental R-670 engine in replacing original's Wright Whirlwind (more reliable and parts easier to find), an electrical system, more modern instruments and a tail wheel. A second pilot seat is also installed between the engine and cockpit replacing the forward fuel tank. The upper turned aluminum panel can be removed to reveal windows for (some) forward viewing.

Seen here at le Bourget to celebrate 60th anniversary of the famous Charles Lindbergh's flight .

Later displayed in the EAA Museum at Oshkosh WI.
