I was cleaning up the workshop and I came across this Macbook Air A1466 with an 820-00165 board in it, covered in a moderate layer of dust and no battery in it. It doesn't have any job stickers on it so it means it's likely mine, or I've really dropped the ball.

I went to try it today when I was sorting out the failure of my wife's A1502 MBP Retina and thought I had found a quick solution, alas, it rebooted repeatedly :(

The A1466 is a nice 1.6GHz 8GB version, so it's a good workhorse and I'll most likely keep using it as my FlexBV macOS compile machine.
