I live in Lambeth under LHR's most commonly used approach. When the last 3 Concordes arrived together in Oct 2003 we heard them coming and went into the street to watch them. A Lambeth refuse truck was passing and the crew obviously also heard them, for the truck stopped, out jumped the 3 man, ethnic minority crew, and stood in the middle of the street waving as they passed over one by one.
Depends: if it's "the shop of the grocer" then it's "grocer's". But if there are two of them then it's "grocers' ". Also let's not forget the creeping use of "it's" when associating something with something else; so it's "The lion and its tail", not "The lion and it's tail"; the latter would mean, in full, "The lion and it is tail". 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".

True - but this "its" vs. "it's" has always struck me as a exception to the general possessive rule.

Apparently you missed the lesson that taught that it takes two aeroplanes to fly in formation
