And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Yes but I think a later mark with a different nose. Despite being borderline obsolete they were popular with crews and quite successful. They remained in service because in Burma, early on, there wasn't much else.
The Blenheim MkIV had the longer nose and was called the BolingBroke. Some were built in Canada and used for maritime patrol and to bomb the Japanese bases in the Aleutian Islands. Al_in_Ottawa
