Some years ago there was a chap in the Gambia who was determined to design his own aeroplane in a class that I was allegedly an expert in. He clearly felt that the UK was the source of all aeronautical knowledge, so used to write for advice to everybody from the CAA to Warton - all of whom forwarded them to me. I used to get another letter forwarded about every month for a while and built up quite a large folder. Occasionally when I was bored, I'd reply with a bit of advice.
Goodness knows what distorted view of the UK he got from the fact that whoever he wrote to, he eventually got a reply from the same bloke, who just kept telling him to actually go and see some real aeroplanes and find out how they work!
An odd part of the world, but you can't fault people for trying.
