Abstract
Some topological identifications are introduced into the DS-spaces of Robinson and Trautman, and the symmetry and asymptotic symmetry groups of the resulting spaces are calculated. The latter have structures similar to the GBM group, each being the semi-direct product of a group of supertranslations by a group of classical type.Keywords
