I have been recuperating under the tender care of the hospital nursing staff.
What a great crew, all of them (almost )

It has been a while and now is as good a time to catch up with threads.

The Webley is up and operating again. The tap cock was made last week and works well.
From the image it appears to be offset to the load point but rest assured, it is in perfect alignment with the bore.
With the gracious assistance of a good friend, a tap lever was provided that completed the fix.
Now fitted with a synthetic seal it is shooting in the low 600s and over the shed range of 7 metres is pin-point accurate.
I had a shoot of it last Friday and IMO, while the trigger would take some getting used to and the cocking effort feels a bit heavy, it is a great air rifle.
