Safest guess would be somewhere inside a hangar at Melsbroek.

So is there any confirmation on which type of helicopter, or if any have actually arrived?

At least one VH-3 is at Brussels now. Somewhere saw a photo made a Belgian showing it being unloaded.

For the desperate number chasers; Last night both VH-3's were seen inside one of the hangars on the Melsbroek side. They were visible because it was dark outside and the lights inside were on.
Driving on the Haachtsesteenweg, coming from Cargo, it is the first hangar with the round roofs; http://goo.gl/maps/1fv38
