What is this aircraft?

This is from a shirt advertisement that keeps popping up on my PPrune feed. Maybe my wardrobe is bugged, I don't know.

Can anyone tell me what make and model the aircraft is?

What type is this? The red and white high-wing taildragger, not the "type" in the shirt and tie...

I'm guessing by the radial engine and side windows, most likely a C190 or C195....... cracking aircraft, although many, many years since I've been near one.

Probably this Cessna 195.

Well spotted Atlas, I believe you've got it in one! Thank you!

It's possibly this one: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9179871 or one very much like it.

Dave, I know you are all-seeing, but how can you see the spinner in the original?

Good point !

I was comparing I42's photo with the one on your link.

Having looked more closely, I don't think it's either of those two candidates.

Dave

I think the "differences" are due to the lens used in the ad shoot - NC30818 in Pearly's Jetphoto's link is a different colour red from teh one India42 found

I 'd even bet the shot was taken in the same hangar looking at the lighting in posts 1 & 3

Hmmm. A hangar's a hangar.

And there are detail differences between the OP's photo and I42's:

My money's on this Cessna 190 (N1551D), given that it is/was based in the UK (at Old Buckenham and later Shipdham), even down to the same whatever-it-is (headset?) hanging inside the windscreen:
