The author discusses certain translation planes obtained by \textit{W. M. Kantor} [Can. J. Math. 34, 1195-1207 (1982; Zbl 0467.51004)] by projecting sections of ovoids. He gives some presentations of the associated spreads and studies some properties of these planes which are not visible using the original description given by the ovoids. This provides the motivation for studying, in general, translation planes admitting certain homology and/or elation groups. In particular, the author obtains (via dualization and derivation) new classes of projective planes of Lenz-Barlotti type II-1. He also discusses the relations between certain projective planes of Lenz-Barlotti type II-1 and flocks of quadratic cones in PG(3,q).
