It looks like Castleforbes Airport (EICS) doesn't exist anymore. I don't live near by so can't know for sure, just passing on to Laminar. I also don't have X Plane installed so if legoboyvdlp has already figured out the position and all my apologies man.

Some info a couple posts down here:

If you measure from Newtown Forbes to about where hugoj_air in the post says the Airfield was, it's 2 km to a long straight field that matches the length of the airfield perfect (1215mx37m). The field also looks to be on the same headings too (15/33) and is just to the east of Lough Forbes and what looks to be a large house which I'm guessing is the estate, so that all matches up.
