Not exactly ideal, but yes you could. Remember to put a 3 amp fuse in the plug top.

As stated above, yes it can be, though not ideal. Permanent equipment should be hard wired, although that being said a plug and socket performs the same tasks as alternatives (isolation and circuit protection).
Flexible wiring should also be used due to vibration.
