Widen wonder and others....seem to be numerous armchair experts on this thread with little knowledge of what has to be done w.r.t time management to reposition to a safe landing....and we are probably not talking about an incident of 707 WE seriousness here......WW considers dumping fuel yet appears to criticise the BA crew for their tour of Southern England lasting just 27 minutes....how long would WW consider remaining airborne to dump fuel? And would that really be a good idea with an engine on fire...is he aware no jettison facility on the 319?....if indeed a fire warning was received....it may be that the loss of insecure cowlings suppressed any fire warning which dont forget are only heat detectors....little point commenting on how many hours someone may have with obviously no Airbus knowledge and therefore no appreciation of how complex the ECAM drill can be.....if indeed any were requested...remember the QF A380 ECAM?.Seems to be just plain old anti BA angry rhetoric....good job by the crew btw.
