Lie (and topological) group extensions of $\mathbb{R}^2$ by $\mathbb{R}$ What are all the non-split Lie (and topological) group extensions $0 \to \mathbb{R} \to G \to \mathbb{R}^2 \to 0$? Here, $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}^2$ are regarded as Lie (and topological) groups with respect to the usual addition. One example of a non-split extension is the Heisenberg group $H_3(\mathbb{R})$ (Please see a post by Alain Valette at https://mathoverflow.net/questions/63630). 
Since, every abelian topological extension of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by a locally compact abelian group is trivial, we have that every abelian topological extension of $\mathbb{R}^2$ by $\mathbb{R}$ is trivial. Hence, we need to see only non-abelian extensions.
 A: This is just an answer to the request for the Bianchi classification, not to the original question.  I'm putting it as an answer because it's too long for a comment.
A 3-dimensional Lie algebra $L$ is either semi-simple, in which case it is isomorphic to either ${\frak{so}}(3)$ or ${\frak{sl}}(2,\mathbb{R})$, or else it has a basis $x_1,x_2,x_3$ such that
$$
[x_1,x_2]=0\qquad [x_2,x_3] = b_{11} x_1 + b_{12}x_2\qquad  
[x_3,x_1] = b_{21} x_1 + b_{22}x_2
$$
where the $2$-by-$2$ matrix $B = (b_{ij})$ is equal to one of the following
$$
\begin{pmatrix}0&0\cr 0&0\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}1&0\cr 0&0\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}1&0\cr 0&1\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}1&0\cr 0&-1\end{pmatrix}
$$
or
$$
\begin{pmatrix}0&1\cr -1&0\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}1&1\cr -1&0\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}\sigma&1\cr -1&\sigma\end{pmatrix},\ \begin{pmatrix}\sigma&1\cr-1&-\sigma\end{pmatrix}
$$
where $\sigma>0$ is a real number.  These are all pairwise non-isomorphic.
The proof is fairly straightforward and can be found in many places.
A: Central extensions 
$$
0 \to \mathbb{R} \to G \to \mathbb{R}^2 \to 0
$$
in which $G$ is a principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundle over $\mathbb{R}^2$ (I suppose you mean that by "topological")
are classified by continuous maps 
$$
f: \mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}
$$
satisfying
$$
f(x,y)f(y,z) = f(x,z).
$$
The abelian ones are those corresponding to maps with $f(x,y) = f(y,x)$.  
This follows from a general theory for topological central extensions described in J.-L. Brylinksi's "Differentiable cohomology of gauge groups" (for the smooth case, but that is not relevant) combined with the fact that every principal bundle over $\mathbb{R}^2$ is trivializable.
EDIT: From a map $f$, you get the extension $G$ explicitly as the topological space $G = \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2$ with the multiplication given by
$$
(a_1,x_1)(a_2,x_2) = (a_1 + a_2 + f(x_1,x_1^{-1}),x_1 + x_2).
$$
