Is it viable to installing the SSD back into a similar model Macbook Air, 
and run the system in target disk mode (boot with T (?) held?)

I'm pretty sure the disk appears as a normal firewire or thunderbolt
drive to the host system, so you could then just dd the raw data (or
whatever).

I have migrated data succesfully between various Macs using this
technique, and have accumulated a collection of Thunderbolt and
other cables/adapters over time.

If you're really stuck for access to a similar model Macbook Air,
I have a couple of almost-surplus-to-requirements MBA 11" models
that I could work with you to use for data transfer (in Canberra).

cheers,
Luke.
