β¦ Synopsis
A class of translation planes of order q2, where q =pr, p is a prime, p I>7, p~=t=l (mod 10) and r is an odd natural number is constructed and the translation complements of these planes are determined. A property shared by all these planes is that the translation complement fixes a distinguished point and divides the remaining distinguished points into two orbits of lengths q and q2 _ q. The order of the translation complement is rq(q -1) 2 except for q = 7 and q = 13. The translation complements of these exceptional cases are also briefly studied. The class of planes considered in this paper are distinct from the classes of translation planes of S.D. Cohen and M.J. Ganley [Quart. J. Math. Oxford, 35 (1984) 101-113].

Translation Laguerre planes of order 16 are investigated, and a related search is carried out for translation ovals in the eight translation planes of order 16 and for certain collections of such ovals called 2-pencils. Although in some of these planes there are considerably more translation hyperov
