Thus the title of this thread, in full, is "Concorde is in formation", which only makes sense if there was only one Concorde. So it's either, "A Concorde's in formation" or "Concordes in formation".

Grammar School education wasn't wasted after all.
Apparently you missed the lesson that taught that it takes two aeroplanes to fly in formation :-)
