Let S be a blocking set in a finite projective plane \(\Pi\). Let \(G\subseteq Aut \Pi\) fix S and be flag transitive on S. Then \(S=PG(2,q)\) is a Baer subplane of \(\Pi\) and \(PSL(3,q)\triangleleft G\), or \(S=U_ H(q)\) is a Hermitian unital in \(\Pi =PG(2,q^ 2)\) and \(PSU(3,q)\triangleleft G\).
