Default "The Eagle has landed" NOT! Flood lighting indicated.

I would agree that the hotspot in '5903 and '5902 could have been
produced as you describe but for one thing. The LM lunar surface probes
attached to the landing pads indicate the true last moments trajectory
path taken by the LM and if you look at AS11-40-5915 among others you can
see the orientation of 3 probes and the direction in which they are bent
and a couple of instances see the line in the ground/dirt in which it was
dragged as the Eagle landed. These do not correspond with the positioning
of the hotspot and the fluid errosion given that the engine continued to
fire untill just after it set down. It looks more as if the LM was
dropped in position onto an already prepared ground made to look like it
landed under rocket power but unfortunately whilst dropping the Eagle it
wasn't accurately lined up with the pre-made rocket mess on the ground.
No actual Moon landing implies floodlighting was used on a moon "set".

Regarding the "Hadley" images 10075741.jpg and 10075742.jpg Anyone may
examine them and try rotating them as you described and as for radiant
heat I think I studied it well enough at university. You'll see, the
improved section regarding this will be clearer.
