In 1931 he joined the Auxiliary Air Force and served as a pilot on No. 608 Squadron (North Riding) Squadron Aux AF in his spare time and in the ranks of Pilot Officer (7 February 1931), Flying Officer (7 August 1932) and Flight Lieutenant (25 November 1933). On 30 December 1934 he was promoted further to Squadron Leader and appointed Officer Commanding of No 608 (North Riding) Squadron Aux AF.〔
In 1938, still a Squadron Leader, Ambler transferred to No. 609 (West Riding) Squadron Aux AF as 609's Officer Commanding. This auxiliary appointment was short-lived and with World War II having only started a few months previously, Ambler was promoted to Acting Wing Commander and took up duties as the Operations Controller at RAF Wick in December 1939. His confirmation in the rank came on 1 January 1940 and he was promoted to Group Captain a year later in December 1941.〔
