The authors construct a complete Riemannian metric on the four-dimensional real vector space \(R\) which carries a two-dimensional space of twistor spinors having a common zero point. This metric is half conformally flat, but not conformally flat. Their construction uses a conformal completion at infinity of the Eguchi-Hanson metric on the exterior of a closed ball in \(R\). Contents include: an introduction; the Eguchi-Hanson metric; half-conformally flat metrics admitting twistor spinors with zeros. The paper concludes with a list of references containing twenty items.
