I think there have been a couple of straight wing airplanes wiht
anhedral, but I can't picture one off the top of my head. Surely
everything that can be tried, has been tried at this stage!
The Lockheed F-104, perhaps?


Yep, dats one. i have no idea what the anhedral does on that, but I'm going
to take a blind stab at area rule.

The usual, I think - Dutch roll control. The vertical fin was almost as
long as the wings.
