The paper considers the problem of finding exact solutions of vacuum Einstein equations with twisting rays, which have physical interest as models for asymptotic gravitational radiation. The state of the art implies that it is convenient to consider symmetries in order to simplify the equations. The symmetries used apply to a homothetic Killing vector field \(h\) and a Killing vector field \(e\) constituting a symmetric group \(H\) with commutation relations \[ [e,h] = le +mh ,\qquad l \text{ and } m \text{ constants}. \] This work generalizes a previous paper by one of the authors in 1988 where the vector fields were both Killing vectors and a similar third order real differential equation for this problem is derived.
