Hi James,
I think marksee's suggestion will work, if indeed your target is to align object 1 to object 2. You just need to combine the "align position" and "align orientation" axes (see attached gif).
On the other hand, you said:

what i need to do is align a certain section of an object to a particular section of another, i've attached a screen grab to better illustrate it.

You seem to want just a particular section of object1 to align with object 2. In this case, the best thing I could think of is moving vertices. Or maybe try normal align (havent tried it though).
Hoped that helped.
p.s. hope this gif works, its my first!
