I guess so, unless any have been sent to Pitcairn or somewhere.

shows that if you dug through the centre of the earth from Solms you'd
end up at~ Latitude:-50.5, Longitude:-171.5.  Somewhere south-west of
Dunedin in the Pacific.  So I'd say you're close to as far away as
possible from Solms John.

So I have no idea why we got ours when we did.  Maybe no-one else on
the LuG got in as early . . . ?
