P/O C.F Ambrose evacuation from Norway 8th June 1940 Help please.

Hi
Would anyone have any information on F/O C.F. Ambrose of 46 squadron in regards to the evacuation of Norway on the 8th June 1940.

The reason i ask is it is noted that on that day the three vessels that were carrying out the evacuation were all sunk HMS Glorious and her escorting destroyers HMS Acasta and HMS Ardent.

During the evacuation two troop convoys Group1 sailed on the 7th and the second Group11 sailed on the 8th both convoys reached the Uk safely.

My question is would anyone have any information on P/O Ambrose in regard to what vessel he returned to the UK on? as reading the survivors list it states as far as 46 squadron were concerned only 2 pilots survived was one on that list F/O Ambrose who was later to fly during the Battle of Britain and the duration of the War.

Would anyone no if P/O Ambrose was one of the two survivors listed from the three vessels that were sunk? or was he on one of the two troop convoys that were able to return to the UK previously?

Many thanks for any help given to this in advance.
