Random Spitfire Question

Asked elsewhere, and piqued my interest...

Could the pilot of a wartime Merlin or Griffon engined Spitfire (which I believe only had ground start?) restart his engine in flight by windmilling the prop? I'd have thought it's a lot of beef to rotate with the prop...

Cheers
