Two men have survived a plane crash near flood-devastated Toowoomba in southeast Queensland.

A tiger moth biplane crashed into bushland near Table Top Mountain, at Blanchview near Toowoomba, at about 5.20pm (AEST) on Sunday, a RACQ Careflight spokesman said.

A medical team winched down to the heavily wooded scene found one man walking around with only minor head and arm lacerations, and another man trapped upside down in the wreckage, he said.

The second man had head lacerations and remained trapped until special equipment could be flown in to release him.

Both were flown to Toowoomba Base Hospital in a stable condition.

It was not immediately known if the small plane was involved in any search and rescue activities connected to the Queensland floods.
