Bristol Type 185

Can anyone tell me anything about the Bristol Type 185?

All I have read is that it was planned in the early 1950s as a rocket powered interceptor with a prone pilot position.

I have been unable to find any drawings or other details and even spoke to the man who headed the Type 188 project, who had never heard of it.

The Putman book merely mentions it was a project in 1952 to be powered by a Spectre engine.

I seem to recall that the prone Gloster Meteor was built in connection with this. I think that the Type 185 was meant to be a delta wing craft.
