Jules Noël qualified for French license No. 322 on a Sommer and was then employed by Sommer. Before, he had built at least three aeroplanes of his home town Carignan, in the northeast of France. The third was a monoplane with an uncovered rear fuselage and Bleriot-style kingposts. Its empty weight was 210 kg and the machine was powered by a 25 hp Anzani. Noël and an Italian passenger were killed in a testing accident at the Sommer airfield in Douzy on 9 February 1911.
