\textit{H. Pralle} and \textit{S. Shpectorov} [Adv. Geom. 7, No. 1, 1--17 (2007; Zbl 1135.51008)] described the class of ovoidal hyperplanes in dual polar spaces of rank 4. In this paper, it is observed that by removing such a hyperplane and a related second hyperplane one obtains a new geometry for the group stabilizing the ovoidal hyperplane. The authors prove that this group acts flag-transitively and that the geometry is simply connected.
