Abstract This paper is part of a program aiming at the classification of all higher-dimensional locally compact translation planes whose collineation groups have large dimension. In the present paper we determine all eight-dimensional locally compact translation planes which admit acompact collineation group Σ of dimension at least 5 acting almost effectively on the translation axis. In fact, Σ is isomorphic either to Spin4ℝ or toSO 4(ℝ). The case∑ ≅ Spin4(ℝ) has already been treated elsewhere ([6]). Here, the planes with∑ ≅SO 4(ℝ) are explicitly determined and studied in detail.
