Looked through a bunch of Merlin/Griffon Spitfire pilot notes and no where is the situation discussed.
A single engined radial (Cyclone) of 1,425 horse power has a procedure spelled out, prop to fine pitch is the only thing of note. It is incredibly difficult to get the prop stopped, assuming the engine is not damaged mechanically, have done it in a Chipmunk and had to hang on the stall burble for an interminable period, getting it rotating again took a very steep nose down and a lot of speed.
