Thank you Roman, for a cover with a very nice and clear cancellation mark on the theme of aviation, my favourite!

I tried to find information on the internet about this particular postmark, but I was not lucky. I would like to understand the reason for this particular postmark, because as Roman says in the notes he kindly included, the PZL 50 Jastrząb (Goshawk) was not a very successful aircraft. Its design began in 1936 and the aircraft was intended to be the main fighter of the Polish Air Force. Still, only one prototype was completed and flown, although not finishing the test programme, before the beginning of the second world war, and the project was laid to rest.

Not having any aviation related stamps at hand, Roman used two nice ones to serve as the base for the fine cancellations:

5 ZL stamp issued on 19FEB2019, as part of a definitive series started in 2018, dedicated to the cities of Poland, in this particular case the city of Białystok. The image on the stamp is that of the Branicki Palace, originally built between 1691 and 1697 and then refurbished, in Rococo style, between 1750-1771. 

Having sustained heavy damages due to aerial bombings in the course of the second world war, the Palace was rebuilt to his former glory and his now occupied by the Medical University.

3.30 ZL stamp part of a 4 stamp with the same face value, issued on 25JUN2019, in minisheet format, dedicated to Polish Clematis varieties. The stamp on the cover depicts the variety 'Maria Sklodowska Curie', introduced in 2014.
