Bob,
The Tower controller called it a VC-10.

That was cool. The closest I've ever come to that was during a flight from
Hyde to Freeway. I called up ADW (long before the ADIZ) and was cleared to
enter Bravo "direct on course". That took me right over the field and out
on the ramp was one of the VC-10s.
I didn't have a camera with me, either. 
The 747 commonly known as Air Force one is a VC-25A.
