A woman's body has been found in the search for Queensland mother Trista Applebee after a plane crashed during a scenic flight to celebrate her birthday.
The body was found at a beach on North Stradbroke Island on Friday.
"Police believe the woman to be the 31-year-old passenger from the Yak 52 aircraft that failed to return from a flight," a police statement said.
Ms Applebee was on a joy flight with experienced pilot Marcel van Hattem, 52, when his Soviet-era plane crashed off the Gold Coast on Wednesday.
Mr van Hattem's body was found in wreckage of South Stradbroke Island on Thursday afternoon.
