Can anyone tell what this aircraft is please? Looks a bit like an Oxford but I don’t think it is.

It’s a Cessna T50, known as the Bobcat to the Canadians and the Crane to Cessna. Also nicknamed the Bamboo Bomber because it’s made entirely out of wood (not bamboo though, and it’s not a bomber!) as well as several other nicknames. It was used as a light transport aircraft, and also by the Canadians as a training aircraft for conversion from single to twin engine aircraft by the CATP (Canadian Air Training Programme)
