Pitcairn PA-39 autogyros - Fleet Air Arm

The FAA had ordered six Pitcairn autogyros (some sources say 7?), serials BW828-BW832.
Three of them reportedly went down when their ship was sunk on the way to Britain.

Is it known which three Pitcairns were lost and what ship they were on?

Thanks for info.
