Although it could be in breach of European regulations, may also fly an F-reg in a non-commercial operation in UK airspace using a UK non–Part-FCL PPL. Art 148(3)(b) of the ANO, as amended by 2019 No. 645, sch 1 (emphasis added):

1) move the plane into the G-reg: does anybody know if I will then need to convert my UK-issued EASA ppl into a UK PPL (non-EASA) ?
I don’t think so. You now have a UK “Part-FCL” license; until (if) the UK changes its legislation, you just revalidate like you did before.
