John,
i visited the site mentioned in your earthfiles link, where you and Jim find the correct area of the landing. i was there for hours walking up and down trying to match the trees in the photo (enjoyed the fresh air but failed to find the area).
The report said "Jim Penniston looks eastward towards Capel Green as John Burroughs points south on December 27, 2010. The two had been a little further back in the Rendlesham Forest where Jim seemed to be taken over by recall of their encounter on December 26, 1980. In front of them unseen are two separate wire fences that we climbed over to get into the Capel Green field"
Please could you clarify just how far in from the fence was the point that you are photographed (a little further back is stated). Also was this point following the line of the finger of trees directly into the forest or was it off set slightly to the north or south (the north seemed to have silver birch trees so i ruled that out)?
