His father, Group Captain Vincent Gerald French Kelly, who was of Irish descent, taught mathematics to pilots in the education service of the Royal Air Force. Tony's scientific promise became apparent at the age of 13 in Presentation College, Reading, when he successfully corrected a physics teacher's work on the blackboard.

Second, the thin samples could then be deformed in controlled tensile tests at a known stress rather than by rolling. Third, to improve the spatial resolution of the diffraction method, he switched, in joint work with Peter Hirsch and Jim Menter, to the use of transmission electron diffraction.

Their discovery of the fiber pullout failure process provided the first explanation of an important deformation mechanism and the source of large work of fracture and hence toughness. The experimental data and their analysis also showed that at sufficient volume fraction the fibers could produce a significant increase in strength.

Equally remarkably, Tony was able to maintain his research activity during these 18 years of heavy administration. The flow of publications that emerged from the vice chancellor's office included not only works of scholar ship such as encyclopedias, where he was contributor as well as editor, but also reports of his continuing efforts to explain composite behavior in terms of the geometry and properties of the constituents.
