Are you sure there is a British College of Arms?  I didn't think 
there was one.  An English College,  a Scottish College and a Welsh 
College (I believe) and probably and Irish one - but I'm not sure 
about a British one.  

A few years ago British Airways were under threat of having to 
repaint any plane that flew north of the border.  They had obtained 
permission from the English heralds for the coat of arms on the tail 
fin but not from the Scottish ones.
