Moving to Belgium (from UK)

Hello all,

I'm about to make a move to Brussels, Belgium for work.

I hold a EASA PPL(a) + Night + IR/(R) rating. All UK issued since 2014...

Few questions:

A) Where in the Brussels area (say 1 hour drive of the city) can I find affordable PPL self fly-hire?
B) Do the Belgian folk enjoy 'sharing' their aircraft in a private split equity based system. Like here in the UK? If so, is there a good web source for adverts or classifieds? I've come from an equity share and struggling to entertain the idea of 180+ euro/s hour in a spam can.
C) Can I use my Night rating?
D) Do I need to convert my UK issued (EASA) PPL or can I fly F-reg / OO-reg on this current license?
E) Can I keep my PPL permanent address in the UK. My work contract is permanent but I am by no means fixed on a life in Belgium. I'd guess i'd have to convert to Belgian issued PPL if I registered my permanent address in Belgium?

Do appreciate any feedback from EXPATS or those who have gone through a similar change.

Regards,

H9
