A class of translation planes of order p2r, where r is an odd natural number and p is a prime, p ≥ 7, p ≢ ± (mod 10) is constructed. A salient feature shared by all these planes is that one ideal point is fixed by the translation complement and the remaining ideal points are divided into at least two orbits, one of which is of length pr.
