My Uncle Ricky Horwell (would have been as I was not born) was the electrician on the vessel, the story goes that he tossed a coin with the other man who won and never sailed. Does anyone know if this is true and if the guy is still alive today. My uncle died with the vessel when she disappeared.

This is a true story and is re-told in my book 'Subsmash - The Mysterious Disappearance of HM/s Affray', published by The History Press.
