Abstract

The plane in the title is investigated from the combinatorial point of view.Its Baer subplanes are classified and their distribution is studied.Properties of the Fano subplanes are shown.Blocking sets of Rédei type are constructed.
Finally, hyperovals and complete \(14\)-arcs are considered and classified.
