S43.1 at Massey's, with an impressive array of equipment rigged up inside the structural test cage. A large beam placed over the top supports four hydraulic cylinders linked to catch/lift hardware (yellow arrows). Another cylinder is pinned to a beam, applying loads to one side of the cone (orange arrow). Two frames are linked to the flap hardware for applying forces on the linkage hardware (red arrows). A pair of chopstick simulator beams apply a clamp force to the 9-meter tank section (green arrows). Internally, a large trapezoid frame is likely testing the Pez dispenser base frame that attaches to the forward dome, possibly testing forces it would see during a fully loaded Starlink v3 mission. Thanks to @MarcusHouse @lifeatstagezero for the progress shots.
