Made their Military pattern air rifle available to cadet and volunteer units in the early years of the 20th century. It was a BSA Standard underlever air rifle stocked up to resremble a MLE, IIRC there was also a shorter version available to more closely mimic the SMLE. They were even fitted with a dummy bolt handle. If you can find one, expect to pay in the region of £1000.
Webley's MkII air rifle was known as the "Service" air rifle apparently because some cadet/volunteer units bought them, although they were never officially supplied. The Webley was a very high quality rifle, but looked nothing like a service rifle.
