Thanks for the additional information.
Pick up pipe to oil pump gasket was fitted OK as did have previous problem with no oil pressure. Once fitted correctly got loads of pressure. As said frothing did occur when added extra oil so yes crank was spinning through it hence drained some off but level now below the didpstick mark.
The tube is well pushed in and sealed as was loose, therefore, cannot measure length protruding from the end but will measure length of dipstick from 'bump' stop to min mark to see if it matches 44.8.

Measure dipstick from bump to minimum mark and bump to max mark.
measure tube from top to where it goes into the block
get back to me
if you look at my photos of dipsticks and tubes you can see that there is a big distance between block and max mark.
tell me more about the frothy oil, the only way you tell that the oil is frothing is to look at the oil coming out of the cam oil feed bar.
The oil would only be in the bowl of the sump, it would not sit in the forward area

Just seen the pictures posted by Pajsh which really answers the question very nicely thank you
Tube top to block is as above at 394mm. Bump to max is 370mm and bump to min is 396mm on 'rod' type dipstick. Have bought Burton Power flexible/spiral dipstick with measurements at 378mm and 405mm repectively.
