Bristol Type 185

[RAEArcher]

Does anyone have any details of the Bristol Type 185 interceptor project?
All I can find is that it was to be powered by Spectre rocket motor and was probably intended to take off from a ramp. It was to have a prone pilot and is said to be the reason why The Institute of Aviation Medicine at Farnborough embarked on the prone pilot flight trials in the 1950s with the Bobsleigh and Meteor.
