Abstract	We report the first lasing of an infra-red oscillator FEL installed at the test facility ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers In Combined Experiments) at the UK's Daresbury Laboratory. First lasing was achieved at a wavelength of 8um in October 2010, making it the first FEL to successfully operate in the UK. This report describes the installed hardware, commissioning and first lasing, the first characterisation of the FEL performance and output, and further developments.
