A few years ago, I took what I think is a rather nice picture out of the window of one.

The Ryanair model is nice but unfortunately the wrong scale for me. It is a -200 series with a conventional wing and the prototype could be retrofitted with a mini-winglet for improved aerodynamics/lift

Your shot is the current blended winglet common on most Boeings and some Airbuses like the A330/A340

 

The scimitar split winglet is about to become commonplace on all new orders

Why? The Ryanair 737-200 never had winglets, they only appeared on the later models.

Correct, the -100 and -200 series did not, including those noisy -200 that Ryanair had. Some of the later models like the -300,-400, -500 didn't have them either but they are available now as a retrofit for most models still flying
